While looking at the website of the Omni Christian Book Club (https://omnicbc.com/), searching for a book by Fr. Christopher Hunter, SSPX - I ran across this one I hadn't known he'd written. It is about the "Anti-Suffrage Movement." I was amazed and happy. Imagine finding out that there were women (with help from some men) who were pushing back on the work of the "Suffragettes," and someone took the trouble to write an account of it. Not only were these women well-organized, but they were also very well-spoken, well-written - and knew their facts. One of these was their constant reminder that women's freedom as paraded about by the Suffragettes, was a tenet straight out of socialism. They even quoted the French Revolution as one source and added that by no means was the Women's Suffrage Movement a popular one - one the majority supported. Most were either against it - or indifferent. We are currently living in, immersed in, the predictions and fears of the anti-Suffragettes. Indeed, horrors they are, and worse than even these far-seeing conservative ladies imagined.An immediate criticism the book deserves, is the size of the print. It is tiny - by that I mean, as small as that smallest print on the bottom lines the eye doctor asks you to read when giving you a vision test. And yet the margins on the page are about an inch wide, indicating the print could have been larger. Whatever the reason for this, it was badly done and if this book is ever re-printed, must be fixed. Meanwhile, anyone with such a copy must squint, or hold the book at arm's length with the right kind of light to get any reading done at all. A magnifying glass that works is also a solution: This book is worthy of better treatment. In any case, that there was an anti-Suffrage movement is kept as hidden as possible. We know why. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. 
Dedicated to the memory of that aristocracy of womanhood - the Anti-Suffragettes! One of the most suppressed topics in American history. This is not an attack on the women's rights movement but a look at the counter-movement of strong, intelligent ladies who firmly believed in strong traditional family values who pointed out that the Suffrage Movement was supported and advocated by socialists who used the movement as a vehicle for their own agenda...fueling union numbers and a war chest of cash for non-traditional and even unpatriotic activities - possibly not too different from today's involvement in the surging gender and feminist policies. Mush interesting reference material included.
