Some "Kernel" Arguments Opposed to Woman's Suffrage, 1913-1918

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 pamphlet, issued by the Michigan Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, lays out that organization's argument against the right of women to vote.
