In this article Hess offers an interesting analysis on the women’s suffrage movement.  Instead of focusing just on the historical facts, she presents the psychological interpretation of it.  She focuses on the thought process of women voters during the suffrage movements as well as a short comparison to women voters in the most recent presidential election.  The way voting was perceived during the height of the suffrage movement differs greatly from how it was recently after the 19th Amendment and also in modern times.  Hess offers an interesting angle focused on the psychological aspect, using specific examples of women during the late 19th century.  This source will benefit the research paper because of the angle it presents.  It will nicely complement the other sources being used for information about the suffrage movement.   The source is the New York Times which is a well-respected newspaper, so the information reported in the article is expected to be both accurate and well-researched, making it a reliable and useful source.
