These feminists argued that women"s special qualities of womanhood/motherhood could be applied to clean up the public sphere (which had been ruined by men) Belief of many early feminists that women as mothers & caregivers had an important but distinctive role to play in society & politics. Equal-rights feminism ~ held that women should have access to jobs, education & the right to vote on the basis of their fundamental human equality to men. Downplayed differences between men & women, and emphasized their commonalities.
