Why did some groups oppose the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment?

Some groups opposed the Nineteenth Amendment because they believed women were biologically destined to be homemakers and child-bearers, not lawmakers or political leaders. This perspective held that women should be protected from the perceived "evils of politics". Antisuffragists, often middle-class and conservative, argued that enfranchisement was contrary to nature for women. They also pointed to instances where they felt enfranchised women in western states had not used their votes to improve society.12
