It was the Republican party who pushed the Suffragette agenda...Harding was a huge supporter of Sufferage!

You are aware that at one point in this country, the republicans and democrats were the polar opposites of what they are today.

Well by 1912 the Republicans turned pro-business and kicked out the progressives...the modern Republican party took hold around the time of Taft....

I'd rather not get into a political history debate here though...

Yes, and my liberal parents were Republican, because it was the party of Lincoln. My reference had more to do with the liberal thinking (not party affiliation) of my Founders. And my guess is that many of their families were Republicans and liberal, too.
