Not all women supported the feminist movement. Alice Ranney Allen, a member of the Massachusetts anti-suffrage women's group argues that women need to "keep ourselves out of politics for the rest of our lives, and to keep our daughters out of politics". Allen argues that true womanhood and women should know that in a proper division of duty we have better work to do along civic, sanitary, and philanthropic lines, and in our homes" (Anti-Suffrage Essays VIII). Many other anti-suffrage advocates followed Allen's ideology over the proper place of women and used these arguments to oppose women's rights.
