This is an Anti-Suffrage pamphlet (cost 1d), published by the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League which was founded on 21 July 1908 to oppose votes for women. There were branches all over the UK. Membership of the branches cost 1s to 5s and men were admitted as subscribing or affiliated members. The League gathered signatures on an anti-suffrage petition, and published the Anti-Suffrage Review from 1908 to 1918.
However they ran out of funds and were taken over by the Men's League for Opposing Woman Suffrage to form the National League for Opposing Woman Suffrage.
The pamphlet attacks the Suffragette movement and describes a demonstration at the Queens Hall on March 26th where speeches were made and ladies dressed in white, wearing carnations and the colours of the League, white rose and black, 'flitted about selling leaflets and literature'.
Attitudes towards women at the time are illustrated by comments about the sensitive nature of women making them unsuitable for political conflict, mens' work fetching a higher price because it was worth more, the grave danger to the Empire and womanhood of women having Parliamentary franchise.
