ABSTRACT Through an analysis of anti-suffrage arguments, I identify white supremacist tropes as an important strand in woman suffrage debates. I argue that sexualization and themes of home were signals to racial bias, and American womanhood was used as a rhetorical resource in struggles over race and national identity. As we celebrate the centennial of woman suffrage, it is vital to recognize how debates over women in national space participate in white supremacist logics.

“妓女”和“Hottentots”：在反选举言论中保护（白人）妇女和白人至上

摘要通过对反选举争论的分析，我将白人至上主义比喻确定为妇女选举权辩论中的一个重要部分。我认为性化和家庭主题是种族偏见的信号，美国女性在种族和民族认同的斗争中被用作修辞资源。在我们庆祝妇女选举权一百周年之际，认识到国家空间中关于妇女的辩论如何参与白人至上主义逻辑至关重要。
