EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and provocative poster, produced by the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League around 1910, boldly declares "Women DO NOT Want Votes." At a time when the suffragette movement was gaining momentum and women's rights to vote were becoming a hotly debated issue, this poster represents the opposing view. The Women's National Anti-Suffrage League was founded in 1908 and merged with the Men's National League for Opposing Women's Suffrage in 1910. The league argued that women were content with their traditional roles as wives and mothers and did not desire the responsibilities and complexities of the ballot box. The use of bold, capitalized letters and the strong, determined faces of the women depicted in the poster underscore the league's conviction in their stance. This historical artifact provides a fascinating glimpse into the complex and nuanced debates surrounding women's suffrage during this period and serves as a reminder of the rich history of the suffragette movement and the diverse perspectives that shaped it.
