"Anti-Suffrage Essays" by Ernest Bernbaum is a collection of writings produced by prominent anti-suffrage women in Massachusetts, likely written in the early 20th century. The book encapsulates the sentiments and arguments that led to a significant anti-suffrage victory in Massachusetts during a critical period in the suffrage movement. It presents the perspectives of women who were engaged speakers and activists, arguing against the need for women to gain the right to vote. At the start of the text, Bernbaum provides an introduction outlining the anti-suffrage victory in Massachusetts and discusses the reasons behind it, such as many women’s apparent indifference to voting and the belief that they were already adequately represented by men. He highlights the strong support for anti-suffrage sentiments in the state, emphasizing that the majority of women did not desire the franchise. The opening chapters set the stage for a series of essays that challenge the motivations and claims of suffragists, arguing that suffrage may lead to negative political consequences and undermine traditional roles of women as caregivers and moral guides in society.
