After the women in the west got the right to vote they decided to help the women from other regions defeat opposition and gain the rights they deserve. Starting in 1910, some states in the West began to extend the vote to women for the first time in almost 20 years. Idaho and Utah had given women the right to vote at the end of the 19th century.
Still, southern and eastern states resisted.Article Title

The man in the picture represents men that were anti-suffragists, who didn't want women to gain equal rights as men and the woman represents all the suffragists fighting for equal rights. Before organizing, suffrage opponents bonded without an official institution. Artists created political cartoons that mocked suffragists. Religious leaders spoke out against women’s political activism from the pulpit. Articles attacked women who took part in public life. Even without a coordinating institution, opposition to suffrage remained popular.
In the 1860s, opponents of woman suffrage began to organize locally. Massachusetts was home to leading suffrage advocates, and it was also one of the first states with an organized anti-suffrage group. In the 1880s, anti-suffrage activists joined together and eventually became known as the Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women.

Instead they aligned themselves with the Anti-Suffrage Movement.
    An independent woman and a member of the politically-active Roosevelt Family Kate Shippen Roosevelt opposed women gaining the right to vote.  In her diary, written from 1912-19, Mrs. Roosevelt often expressed her negative views on this heated debate.
     Describing women’s right to vote as, “simply unnecessary,” Mrs. Roosevelt did not mince words.  She along with, for the most part middle to upper-middle class, conservative Protestants like herself subscribed to the notion that women were biologically destined to be child-bearers and homemakers.  In this realm, anti-suffragists felt women had total domestic freedom in their own homes and it was going against the laws of nature to shake-up the status quo. ]]> 2019-11-15 03:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/idowuo2/5jstfptzbq71/wish/411614805
