Ahem...👇👇👇 #BallotBattle
Gladly. Thank you, Mr. Valentine. #Antisuffrage #BallotBattle
Say it louder for the suffragettes in the back. @LilaMValentine #Antisuffrage #BallotBattle
It's Richmond in 1915. Anti-suffragists have published a pamphlet warning that women of color will take control of the state if all women can vote. How would historic figures react? @theValentineRVA and our partners are portraying this #BallotBattle today at 11am!
A woman can have the most impact on matters that pertain to her home and her children by staying at home and caring for her children! #BallotBattle #AntiSuffrage
.@mrsfdwilliams @henrylvalentine We also AGREE that a woman should take “time to equip herself for intelligent participation in those matters of legislation which vitally affect her home and her children.” @SuffragistP @LanghorneLewis #WomeninthePublicSphere #BallotBattle
.@mrsfdwilliams @henrylvalentine Y’all have also come out IN FAVOR of women lobbying for legislation that affects women, children, & the #RVA & Virginia community. Again, WE AGREE! @LanghorneLewis @SuffragistP #WomeninthePublicSphere #BallotBattle
Who needs the polling place when there's a perfectly good place at home where women can raise responsible citizens? #BallotBattle #AntiSuffrage
Absolutely! @LilaMValentine I think “the saloonkeepers would be elevated by brushing shoulders with the women and politics would be put on a higher and more dignified level” when women vote! @NoVoteJane1 @MrsFDWilliams #ballotbattle
The market is perfect - it's within the woman's sphere! But that's a far cry from the polling location, overrun with drunken and dangerous men. #BallotBattle #AntiSuffrage
Women leave home to go to market @mrsfdwilliams. Why shouldn’t they leave home to go vote? It takes less time! #ballotbattle #suffrage100
.@lilamvalentine @SuffragistP @OraStokes16 Let the men get dirty with the “secondary and less important duty of voting,” you should be satisfied with your home as your sphere. #ballotbattle #AntiSuffrage
.@lilamvalentine We can’t serve in the military so how can we vote to send men to war? Also, suffrage leads to divorce and exposes women to political corruption! #BallotBattle #AntiSuffrage
.@lilamvalentine It’s 1912 & our group opposed to woman suffrage will meet soon! We think most women don’t want the vote. We should focus on raising citizens at home. Children & the ill-informed shouldn’t vote either! #BallotBattle #AntiSuffrage
Absolutely. #BallotBattle
Less than 10 minutes until our first Twitter #BallotBattle! Are you ready? @LibraryofVA @LburgMuse

My home is where my heart is. #BallotBattle
Let the battle begin! In conjunction with our #BallotBattle exhibition, join us this Tues., Feb. 25 at 11am for a live #BallotBattle! We will be tweeting from the perspectives of two women from Richmond's past: one pro-suffrage, one anti-suffrage. @LibraryofVA @LburgMuse
“We believe that women can be most efficient and helpful, not in demanding political importance or authority and notoriety, but in rendering the services for which women are best qualified, namely, the duties of mother and wife.” #BallotBattle
