Woman suffrage: letter from Mrs. Clara T. Leonard. January 29, 1884
Anti-suffrage
Massachusetts. General Court. Committee on Woman Suffrage.
Women --Suffrage --Massachusetts
The letter from Mrs. Leonard was read by Thornton K. Lothrop, Esq. at the hearing before the Legislative Committee on Woman Suffrage. Clara Leonard was well known in her community as an opponent to woman's suffrage and was asked to write a letter to be read at the hearing given by the Legislative Committee to the opposition. The letter was used
several years later to counter a petition for woman suffrage.
She argued that women did not need the right to vote because they would exercise more power by staying out of politics, and influencing men with their understanding of the communities in which they live.

The Remonstrance was the offical organ of the anti-suffrage movement in Massachusetts. The idea of "remonstrances" was first developed by the Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women (later the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of Masschusetts) whose primary function was to obtain signatures for "remonstrances" against "the imposition of any further political duties upon women." The "remonstrances" were circulated to offset the petitions of suffragists.

Series: Mis. doc. (United States. Congress. House), 41st Congress, 2nd session, no. 48.
Charlotte McKay, a Civil War nurse, addresses several reasons against granting the right to vote to women, chief among them that it would put the safety of the republic in jeopardy due to an "increase of the intelligent and incompetent vote."
She also discusses the issue that granting the right to vote would be outside of woman's appropriate sphere and place an added burden to their daily responsibilities.
