This is a politics in which both legislators and women campaigning for electoral equality had to calculate who would gain from this reform and how to appeal to the multiple groups whose support for it was necessary.Contact: Professor Peter Hall, See also:- [ Elsewhere at Harvard ](/events/elsewhere) Share on:- [ Facebook ](#) - [ Twitter ](#) - [ Linkedin ](#) Save: [ Add to calendar calendar\_today ](https://history.fas.harvard.edu/node/684931/event-feed.ics) Copy link link
