Women’s suffrage movement of the nineteenth century in the United Sates had much to do with the anti-slavery movement. Sharing the same ideal of equality and human rights; however, women’s suffrage movement not only emphasized on women’s political right but on women’s roles as wives and mothers because of women’s connection with the domestic sphere, home, which was an essential part in women’s life. This paper is inspired by Nancy Cott’s argument about “the bond of womanhood” in New England between 1780 and 1835 in her now a feminist classic, The Bond of Womanhood (1977). As the bond of womanhood elevated women’s social status while limiting them to the private sphere with the cult of domesticity, it also implied the dual meaning of the “bond”: women’s union as solidified by the sameness of women while at the same time as being untied by the differences among them in terms of class, race, religion, and other dimensions. Based upon Nira Yuval-Davis’s theory of “intersectionality,” this paper will explore that did the women’s suffrage movement, the prime time of which came after the time period of Cott’s research focus, in any way affect the realities of “the bond of womanhood” with regards to both division of women’s social roles and the union of women’s solidarity? By this argument, I will propose to examine the bond of womanhood as represented in the women’s suffrage movement by analyzing the interrelations of three leading figures of the women’s suffrage movement: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Lucy Stone.
