Johnson, Rossiter, 1840-1931
Description
An account of the resource
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.
