I googled, and found:

http://womenshistory.about.com/od/suffrage1900/a/suffrage_brutal.htm

http://www.fwhc.org/why-women-vote.htm (credits the original author)

The author of the article in the email you quote is Connie Schultz of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, and apparently - and unfortunately - the story is true.

It's horrifically depressing lately reading about so much institutionalized & handwaved-away abuse of women & children (I've been reading memoirs of women who escaped the FLDS cult, and it doesn't sound too different from that email.)

If only so many people didn't seem to have their heads firmly in the sand. Sigh.

Thank you so much for the research! I was clearly too lazy. But I've edited the post *g*

It is depressing. I can't help but hope that things will change for the better though. They just have to.
