9. Pedology

Pedology, in the context of the history of women's suffrage, refers to the study of children's development and the influence of education on their perception of gender roles and rights. During the suffrage movement, advocates recognized that shaping young minds was crucial for fostering future generations that valued equality and women's rights. By altering educational narratives and encouraging critical thinking, suffragists aimed to empower children to challenge societal norms. This approach sought to promote a more equitable society, where future citizens would advocate for women's rights and ensure that the fight for suffrage continued beyond their own generation.
