Literary notes about objector (AI summary)

The term "objector" has been employed in varied and nuanced ways in literature, often reflecting the complex interplay between dissent and tradition. For instance, in Walter G. Kellogg’s work, the conscientious objector is depicted as a figure deeply embedded in sociological inquiry and moral resistance [1]. In contrast, historical texts on woman suffrage sometimes frame the objector as a figure challenging progressive ideas—raising questions about women's desires for equality of freedom [2]—while at other times portraying an objector who defends established, even archaic values, as seen in the defense of Mother Eve [3]. These examples demonstrate that the designation "objector" can signify both a principled stance against prevailing norms and a contentious position questioning the very foundations of social reform.
