女性的选择似乎比男性更强调儿童福利。本文提出了新的证据，说明美国妇女的选举权如何帮助儿童从细菌革命的科学突破中受益。与选举竞争的标准模式一致，选举权法出台后，立法行为立即发生变化，地方公共卫生支出突然大幅增加。公共卫生支出的增长推动了大规模的挨家挨户的卫生运动，儿童死亡率下降了8-15%（或全国每年2万名儿童死亡），因为具体原因的减少只发生在对卫生条件敏感的传染性儿童杀手中。
Women’s choices appear to emphasize child welfare more than those of men. This paper presents new evidence on how suffrage rights for American women helped children to benefit from the scientific breakthroughs of the bacteriological revolution. Consistent with standard models of electoral competition, suffrage laws were followed by immediate shifts in legislative behavior and large, sudden increases in local public health spending. This growth in public health spending fueled large-scale door-to-door hygiene campaigns, and child mortality declined by 8-15% (or 20,000 annual child deaths nationwide) as cause-specific reductions occurred exclusively among infectious childhood killers sensitive to hygienic conditions.
