"Popular Vote Has Defeated Woman Suffrage. Stand by the Women: Vote No," 1915

Summary

During the struggle for women's voting rights in the early 20th century, many men and some women strongly opposed the notion of women voting. These "anti-suffragists" argued that women were both physically and emotionally incapable of dealing with the strains of politics. This broadside supports the notion that women agreed with these assessments.
