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.
