Answer:The argument against women’s suffrage and the early feminist movement was that if women were to enter the social hemisphere of work, and voting, they would no longer be gentle and kind. The right to vote was established by the 19th amendment of 1920.

Explanation: Men of the era were scared of the influence and power women were starting to have, whether as writers, journalists, realism artists, or outspoken activists of the revolutionist also known as progressivist movement, these women stood tall to fight for their beliefs, with their organizations mostly focusing on women’s rights, aswell as colored equality with the NAACP, the temperance movement, looking to remove alcohol from society to protect family life, and the establishment of settlement houses as seen in Chicago due to Jane Addams founding of the Bull House, providing services to the poor in the large city.
