As the political climate changed, its mood also changed. The Bulletin at the time was also predictably antagonistic. (Until Donald Horne became editor in 1961 its masthead slogan was "Australia for the White Man".)

Whilst some US states permitted female voters very early, in certain states and at the national level the campaign was very fierce. The nineteenth amendment to the constitution was ratified on 18 August 1920:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
