Anti Attitude Lane Leadership League Satisfied Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Suggests Title Votes Wealthy Antedeluvian Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Ye Anti-Suffrage League" by Charles Lane Vicary, dates back to 1908 and offers a striking glimpse into the past as it illustrates the staunch opposition to women's suffrage during that era. The title itself suggests the outdated and traditionalist mindset of the Anti-Suffrage League, with the use of the old English "Ye" and the archaic term "Anti" evoking a sense of antiquity. The illustration portrays a group of well-dressed, self-assured women seated at a grand table, their smug expressions conveying a sense of satisfaction and contentment. The caption beneath the image reads, "No Votes for women," emphasizing their unwavering stance against women's right to vote. The opulent setting, complete with ornate table settings and elegant chandeliers, underscores the privilege and wealth of the League's leadership. Despite the seemingly impenetrable opposition, the suffragette movement continued to gain momentum in the years leading up to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the long and arduous struggle for women's suffrage and the deeply entrenched attitudes that needed to be challenged and overcome.
