Women--Legal status, laws, etc.
Rossiter Johnson was a prominent author and editor whose wife, Helen Kendrick Johnson, also a writer, was active in the anti-suffrage movement.
The author discusses reasons why women's suffrage would be a mistake, including the idea that African American and immigrant voters already cast "blank cartridge" ballots with no impact on the outcome of an election; granting the vote to women would present the same problem. He asserts that women would wield more influence by educating and influencing those who already have the right to vote.

William Bowditch was a conveyancer, a lawyer specializing in buying and selling property, in Boston. He lived in Brookline, Massachusetts and served as a selectman and moderator of Town Meetings for a number of years. He was a well-known abolitionist who used his house to shelter fugitive slaves.
