Weren't the advocates for women's suffrage more authoritarian than those who were outright against it or who said nothing against it? I can't think of libertarians from the movement who spoke out in favor of the privilege of women to vote.
Mercy Otis Warren, the legendary Anti-Federalist and one of my heroes, did not speak out in support of womens' political privileges. Mercy Otis Warren is in stark contrast to Abigail Adams for obvious reasons.
Then there was the Great Libertarian from Buffalo (Grover "responsible women do not want to vote" Cleveland) vs. the hardline statist and corporatist progressives Woodrow Wilson and TJR.
It was the same way with those who supported voting privileges for blacks. For example, John C Calhoun was more libertarian than John Q Adams. Another example would be the statist, pro-war, anti-market Radical Republicans vs. the anti-war, pro-market Democrats who were defending themselves against the tyranny of Reconstruction.
I personally think the anti-slavery movement was highly correlated with statism; feminism in all of its forms (i.e., not limited to the third wave) has been as well.
