Suffragist satire from 1915.

Today is the anniversary of the 34th American presidential election. The year was 1920; it was the first presidential election in which women were allowed their own votes. This seems like a good day to post a memento from the political battle over women’s suffrage, the right to vote and run for political office....

Alice Duer Miller was on the other side of the fight. In 1915, she wrote and circulated a satirical response titled Why We Oppose Votes for Men. Drawing on parallel logic, she made a case for why it was men, not women, who shouldn’t be voting. (Click for a larger copy.)

1. Was Alice Miller a time traveler?

She was a DUer in 1915!

2. A satire that struck deep at the heart of the sexist idiocy & ignorance of the day.

All you have to do is make sure the election polls are only open during the Superbowl.
