Most lizards are able to shed their tails; the
mechanism by which they do so is called
transvertebral autotomy. Such lizards have planes
of weakness running through their tail vertebrae
5 and the surrounding fat, muscle, and skin, so that
the tail can break off at these planes. When a predator
grasps the tail, muscle in tail contract, causing the
vertebra that lies toward the torso just in front of the
point contact to break. Thus the lizard loses the
10 smallest piece of tail necessary to allow it to escape.
The missing part usually regenerates withing a few
weeks. However, during the course of evolution this
mechanism has been lost by many species of lizard.
At first, it is puzzling that a device that works well
15 against predators should have disappeared so often;
evolution normally select for, not against, such
advantages.
Some insight into this puzzle can be gained by
examining how tails benefit lizards. In general, lizards
need their tails to store nourishing fat to sustain them
20 through food shortages; many lizards carry more than
half of their total reserves of fat in their tails. Ground
lizards, in addition, need tails to prevent wobbling in
their hind-quarters(which would significantly reduce
their speed). Given these considerations, the ability
25 to shed the tail would presumably be tied to the
degree to which the tail is needed. The capacity of
individual lizards to fine-tune this ability would be
advantageous, and we should expect such capacities
to have evolved. Indeed, this expectation seems
30 fulfilled; in some European lizards, tail are easily
knocked off fleeing animals but are harder to detach
if the lizard is caught and held by the body, when
transvertebral autotomy has little advantages.
Furthermore, some observations seem to indicate that
35 starved geckos are less likely to shed their tail-and
lose their shrinking fat reserves-than are well-fed
ones.
We might also expect species that need their tails
to be the ones most likely to have lose the ability to
40 shed them, and vice versa. Lizards that climb rocks,
for example, use all four limbs to provoke traction,
so weight does not need to be balanced over the hind
legs to prevent wobbling. Such lizards seem, in the
main, to shed their tails more easily than do ground
45 lizards. However, such comparisons should be made.

In the 1880’s and early 1890’s, the United States
suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton made three
extended visits to Britain, becoming a central figure
in a transatlantic friendship network that included a
5 circle of women connected with the Brights, a reform-
minded Quaker family. The Bright circle provided an
important locus of radical suffragism in Britain. When
Stanton visited Britain in the 1880’s, however,
moderate element dominated the women’s suffrage
10 movement there, one whose viewpoint until recently
has informed prevailing understandings of nineteenth-
century British suffragism. Because the more
moderate leadership provided the early chronicles
of the movement, these contain little evidence of
15 either this transatlantic friendship network or of the
alternative radical approach to suffrage reform that
its members espoused. Recently, however, memoics
of some United States suffragists and correspondence
between members of this network have come to light
20 providing evidence of the extent and nature of radical
suffragism.
Such evidence suggests that the mid-nineteenth-
century movement in the United States to abolish
slavery had a long-term impact on radical British
25 suffragism. The abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison
exhorted reformers to hold to their principles and
refuse to make politically expedient concessions.
Stanton urged her British colleagues in the suffrage
movement to adopt the same approach; emphasizing
30 the need to educate women into rebellion, she sought
to foster an uncompromising and confrontational
approach to the emancipation of women. She
consistently advised her British colleagues against
political compromises determined by what was
35 thought achievable in terms of suffrage reform.
Instead, she advised a broadened formulation of
the demand for the vote, one more consistent with
the conception of the full citizenship of women that
the she shared with radical suffragists in Britain.
40 Central to this conception was the ending of
coverture, the doctrine that subsumed the legal
identity of wives under that of their husbands.
Women’s loss upon marriage of both the …
and their rights over their own bodies made
45 impossible the autonomous developments and

From such a perspective, single woman from the
