1910 - Ballot for women meets disapproval

Ballot for women meets disapproval
Neglect of home often the result of advocacy, says Miss Sanford
Former University Professor gives hard jolt to suffrage cause
Movement likely to dull chivalry of men, in her opinion
Minneapolis Morning Tribune, April 16, 1910


excerpt -

Woman's suffrage doesn't appeal to Miss Maria Sanford, formerly professor of rhetoric at the University of Minnesota. In fact, so far as its results are apparent, it meets with her decided disapproval. . . .

. . . . There was danger in the suffrage movement, Miss Sanford continued, as she feared that it might take away the ideals of woman as a homemaker and of womanliness, and dull "the delicate chivalrous attention" of men. She criticized suffragists for devoting themselves to a great extent to manly pursuits and asserted that most women are unfit for the ballot. . .
