The anti-suffragists' emphasis on suffragist violence is evident in comic vignettes such as those in records 8575 and 8928. In 1913 Walter Heape publishes a book on Sex Antagonism in which he stresses the bitter brutality of the "sex war" (see record 8573). In 1912 Sir Almon Wright writes a letter to The Freewoman on the so-called "militant hysteria" (see record 8454).
