Not Whitey Bulger reposts a report from a 1915 meeting of the Jamaica Plain Anti-Suffrage Association:
... "All of the women that I know who would be of use politically in our State are now working as hard as they can on the boards of institutions, on the boards of charity, in their church work, and last but not least, to my mind, in the much derided home of the modern woman. We feel that our value in public work as nonpartisans is much greater than if we were affiliated with any political party."
