As a result of the woman suffrage movement, citizenship and voting rights, though considered separate issues by the courts, became more intertwined in the mind of the average American. This interconnectedness was also a product of the concurrent movement to disfranchise immigrant declarant voters—immigrants who had filed their intention to become citizens but had not completed the naturalization process. This essay shows how suffragists pursued immigrant declarant disfranchisement as part of the woman suffrage movement, arguing that the same competitive political conditions that encouraged politicians to enfranchise primarily white, citizen women led them to disfranchise immigrant declarants. It analyzes suffragists’ arguments at both the state and national levels that voting was a right of citizens who had met their wartime obligations to the nation, and maintains that woman suffrage and the votes of white women who supported the measures disfranchising immigrant declarants and limiting immigrant rights should be included in historians’ understanding of the immigration restrictionist and nativist movements.

移民申报人和忠诚的美国妇女:女权主义者如何帮助重新定义公民权利

由于妇女选举权运动,公民权和投票权虽然被法院视为单独的问题,但在普通美国人的心目中变得更加交织在一起。这种相互联系也是同时剥夺移民申报选民(已提交成为公民但尚未完成入籍程序的移民)选举权的运动的产物。这篇文章展示了选举权主义者如何将剥夺移民声明人的选举权作为妇女选举权运动的一部分,并认为同样的竞争性政治条件鼓励政治家主要授予白人公民妇女的公民权,这导致他们剥夺了移民声明人的选举权。
