Postcard for Maryland Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, "I Do Not Believe in Woman Suffrage," 1919-1920

01

Artifact Overview

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 membership postcard for the Maryland Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage supported these assessments.
