Description
An anti-suffrage handbill which uses quotations from Carrie Chapman Catt to make its case that woman suffrage: supports racial equality, will lead to interracial marriage, will end to Jim Crow laws, advance feminist views, is unpatriotic, and does not support the war effort or the Constitution of the United States of America. 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?"
