The societal movement in the U.S. that sought to end women's suffrage in the late 19th century was the "Anti-Suffrage Movement." Various groups, including women, argued against granting women the right to vote, citing reasons such as the belief that women should focus on domestic duties, the idea that suffrage would disrupt social order, and concerns about women's lack of political knowledge. Prominent figures in the movement claimed that suffrage would undermine traditional family values and negatively impact society. This movement reflected the deep-seated gender roles of the time and opposed the progress made by the women's rights movement.
