Summary

Drawing on surviving records of antisuffrage organizations, the author argues that antisuffrage women organized to protect gendered class interests rather than an ideal of ""true womanhood"". The book reveals an increasingly militant style as powerful women sought to exclude ""the ignorant vote"".

Splintered Sisterhood by Susan E Marshall

When Tennessee became the 36th and final state needed to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment in August 1920, giving women the right to vote, one group of women expressed bitter disappointment and vowed to fight against this feminist disease. Why this fierce and extended opposition? In Splintered Sisterhood, Susan Marshall argues that the women of the antisuffrage movement mobilized not as threatened homemakers, but as influential political strategists.
