FYI: A suffrage press in Hornell, NY, published this flier in 1913, 7 years before women finally won the right to vote. The list of facts are a window into the arguments that were being used by the anti-suffrage forces; for example, the arguments that women did not want to vote, i.e., Fact No. 4 & 9, and that women's suffrage would lead to increases in divorce and crime, i.e. Fact No. 10, 11, 12.
