Description

During the women’s suffrage movement in the early 1900s, varying motives in different regions of the country fueled an organized anti-suffrage movement. Many of them stemmed from fears about women’s collective political power as a voting bloc.

Formed in 1911, the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage had branches in 25 states by 1916. This photograph shows passers-by looking at a window display at the headquarters.
