Subject
1910 Fashion
Description
An "Anti" (the term used for those against suffrage) film from 1912 portraying suffragists dressed as men and gambling. The implication was that if women got the right to vote they would become manly and, further, emasculate men. There was a fear that the social hierarchy would change by women getting the right to vote.
