　　Influenced by the view of some twentieth-century

　　feminists that women's position within the family is

　　one of the central factors determining women's social

　　position， some historians have underestimated the signi-

　　（5） ficance of the woman suffrage movement. These histor-

　　ians contend that nineteenth-century suffragism was less

　　radical and， hence， less important than， for example， the

　　moral reform movement or domestic feminism-two

　　nineteenth-century movements in which women strug-

　　（10）gled for more power and autonomy within the family.

　　True， by emphasizing these struggles， such historians

　　have broadened the conventional view of nineteenth-

　　century feminism， but they do a historical disservice to

　　suffragism. Nineteenth-century feminists and anti-

　　（15）feminist alike perceived the suffragists' demand for

　　enfranchisement as the most radical element in women's

　　protest， in part because suffragists were demanding

　　power that was not based on the institution of the

　　family， women's traditional sphere. When evaluating

　　（20）nineteenth-century feminism as a social force， contem-

　　porary historians should consider the perceptions of

　　actual participants in the historical events.
