Women casting vote in New York City, 1920 Courtesy of the Library of Congress

The ratification of the 19th Amendment meant the official end of the debate over women’s suffrage, but the antis continued to stay motivated with their work. There were some initial calls to refuse the vote, but many antis eventually went on to join the Republican Party. Since one of the main concerns around suffrage was the lack of an educated voting population, antis worked to spread information to women on political parties. This involvement in the political process saw former antis working directly with former suffragettes, and in many cases, the women were able to work together without much mention of previous disagreements.
