Description

An anti-suffrage handbill which uses quotations to make its case that woman suffrage supports racial equality and will lead to intermarriage, advances feminist views, is unpatriotic, and does not support the war effort or the Constitution of the United States. The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia and the Equal Suffrage League of Richmond are both named.

The writer of the handbill asks, "Is our Constitution another scrap of paper? Do YOU endorse these doctrines?" --Carrie Chapman Catt
