- Description:
- This humorous anti-suffrage broadside makes claims such as "a vote for federal suffrage is a vote for female nagging forever." Woman suffrage masculinize women and feminize men, leading to a collapse of male ascendency, causing the degeneration of the nation. There is an effective political cartoon showing a hen with a "Votes for Women" sash leaving her eggs behind, telling the rooster to "set on them yourself, old man, my country calls me."
