The significance of the Nineteenth Amendment for contemporary gender gap politics, and for its own Progressive Era time period, is investigated by analyzing votes for woman suffrage in the House of Representatives in relation to civil rights, civil liberties, and social welfare legislation. A major conclusion is that the woman suffrage issue was connected to civil rights concerns for the duration of its legislative history, which seriously calls into question the interpretation of the "expediency" thesis, which claims the primary instrumental value of enfranchising women for the sake of "status consistency" goals
