4. My grandmother and great grandmother were Suffragettes in NY

and I can recall seeing stuff similar to this in the scrapbooks my grandmother kept. I was able to salvage only one of her books from the Florida mildew. Unfortunately, it was from the 1930s and contains none of the Sufragette and opposition material.

Stupid arguments like this one were easy to dismiss. The real scare tactics to men were illustrative, showing a woman in an easy chair, smoking a cigar, while the man of the house was on his knees in the kitchen, scrubbing the floor. To men. any step toward equality was deeply threatening, as it still is today. It's why they oppose reproducitve health care for us so vehemently.
