Answer:

<h3>argued that it would defeminize women.</h3><h3 />

Explanation:

Initially, President Woodrow Wilson was against women suffrage movement, strongly believing that women should remain outside of the political and public sphere.

However, with U.S's entry to World War I, his opinion towards women’s voting rights changed. He proposed and supported the movement which was led by Carrie Chapman Catt.

Those who opposed the woman suffrage movement also eventually grew smaller by 1918. They now argued that women's participation in politics would defeminize women. Therefore, they should refrain from it.
