Henpecked: Winston Churchill and Women’s Suffrage explores the recurrent interactions between Winston Churchill and the women’s suffrage movement in Britain. Churchill purposely concealed, under a discursive veil, his complex and shifting perceptions of women’s competency to use the franchise. In balancing a public stance that vaguely favored the “principle” of women’s suffrage with his, often private, opposition to the movement’s legislative efforts, he employed every available rhetorical tool. This book presents a new understanding of his early Parliamentary career, his ability to manipulate public and private discourse, and his complicated stance on women’s right to vote. This rhetorical history challenges the view that Winston Churchill was only dissuaded in his support of women’s suffrage by the militancy of suffrage activists.

“Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Jorgensen-Earp offers a rhetorical history of Winston Churchill’s early political career through his relationship to the British women’s suffrage movement, making a persuasive case that we cannot fully understand one without the other.”—Leslie J. Harris, Associate Professor of Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, author of State of the Marital Union: Rhetoric, Identity, and Nineteenth-Century Marriage Controversies.
