Cartoon - Disparaging Women's Rights (Election Day!)
Women who wanted to vote in America were ridiculed in the media in the early 20th century.
E. W. Gustin created this illustration in 1909. "Election Day!" conveys the message that the husband would be left home, to tend the children, if American wives were allowed to vote.
