It wasn't a "white women only," but racism had some pretty nasty splashover during the women's suffrage movement. Ida B. Wells, for instance, took Frances E. Willard on due to such sentiments as,
"It is not fair that a plantation Negro who can neither read or write should be entrusted with the ballot."
Elizabeth Cady Stanton also used
racist rhetoric
in her discussion of the women's vote.
And then you've got
this.
It seems there was quite a bit of rage that black men got the vote before white women.
...it's actually kinda interesting, seeing the same sort of schisms and tension between queer and trans activists today.
Note that I am NOT that well-read about this era, so feel free to correct me on this.
