No Votes for Women: The New York State Anti-Suffrage Movement | 
This was my #boughtonvacation book from my trip to Seneca Falls, NY last summer. I love reading history from the loser's point of view. And what interested me the most was that these women leading the fight against women's suffrage honestly felt that they were acting in their sex's best interest, and saw their work as an extension of other charitable and social endeavors.
so-soAn interesting study of the history of female anti-suffragists, but I wanted more. I learned, for example, that in the 1890s, they would not debate the suffragists (too close to engaging in politics), but in the 1910s they did, but I never got a good sense of what the debates were like.
At only 173 pages, I felt she could have gone into more detail -- quoting arguments at length instead of just saying that they argued for "separate spheres."
Silly women, thinking that a vote could ever be as satisfying as the love of a child. (c. 1917, New York State Association Opposed to Women's Suffrage)
If you do not actively oppose women's suffrage, you might as well join the wicked triumvirate of Feminists, Socialists, and Mormons! (Probably the only time in history those three got lumped together.)
"Now native-born, white, middle-class suffragists argued that their votes 'could counteract the votes of the undesirable part of the electorate." (Cite to Susan B. Anthony).
Not all reasons for good results are good reasons!
Panicked trip to the bookstore, to make sure I have enough to read on my vacation, so what do I do the first time I get to a museum gift shop? Buy a new book.
