==== Anti-women's suffrage propaganda ==== [[File:Anti Suffrage Postcard c.1908 03.jpg|thumb|A British postcard against women's suffrage postcard from {{Circa|1908}}. It shows unflattering [[caricature]]s of suffragettes in front of [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|parliament]] and the caption: "This is the house that man built" with a poem. From the [[People's History Museum]], [[Manchester]].]] [[File:Votes For Women.jpg|thumb| Britain's [[Women's Social and Political Union|WSPU]] poster by [[Hilda Dallas]], 1909]] Those against the women's suffrage movement made public organizations to put down the political movement, with the main argument being that a woman's place was in the home, not polls. Political cartoons and public outrage over women's rights increased as the opposition to suffrage worked to organize legitimate groups campaigning against women's voting rights. The Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women was one organization that came out of the 1880s to put down the voting efforts.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.crusadeforthevote.org/naows-opposition |title=Opposition to Suffrage |website=History of U.S. Woman's Suffrage |date=5 April 2016 |language=en-US |access-date=4 April 2019}}</ref> Much anti-suffrage propaganda poked fun at the idea of women in politics. Political cartoons displayed the most sentiment by portraying the issue of women's suffrage to be swapped with men's lives. Some mocked the popular suffrage hairstyle of full-upward combed hair. Others depicted young girls turning into suffragettes after a failure in life, such as not being married.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://mentalfloss.com/article/52207/12-cruel-anti-suffragette-cartoons |title=12 Cruel Anti-Suffragette Cartoons |date=21 June 2015 |website=mentalfloss.com |language=en |access-date=4 April 2019}}</ref>
