Description
Gaining the right to vote in New York State resulted in a split in the anti-suffrage movement. One group moved to Washington, DC and became the Woman Patriot Publishing Corporation. It continued to fight woman suffrage until a Supreme Court decision in 1922 declared the Nineteenth Amendment to be constitutional. The corporation became a board of five women at the forefront of fighting radicalism. The majority of women who had once opposed woman suffrage, however, accepted women's obligation to vote. With some pride, these women voted, joined the Republican Party, and replaced anti-suffrage activities with party politics. Both groups of former anti-suffrage women abandoned the private domestic sphere to enter the public realm of politics.
