To be a good journalist you have to be bold but you also have to play into the hands of the people you are presenting to. You tweak your words and might leave out some details or emphasize other details to make your point seem beneficial to a certain audience. I believe that the Voix des Femmes did just that, unlike the loud and rowdy Vesuvians, the members of the Voix des Femmes took a more subtle route to gaining women's rights. They did not question or fight the idea that a woman's role was domestic and maternal, but they used the importance of their role as reasoning to why they should get better rights such as education, property rights and women's suffrage. I believe that this is like many advertising campaigns or political campaigns today. They learn what is important to the majority of the public and use that knowledge, like the Voix des Femmes did with emphasizing the importance of family and marriage and by cooperating with the male political figures rather than fighting or accusing they like modern day campaigns had a much greater chance of getting people to be open to their ideas and beliefs.
