Again, a political cartoonist has presented the woman
suffrage movement as a positive force. How has this artist chosen to make his or her
argument more forceful?
What in the cartoon suggests that the artist was trying
to link woman suffrage with other beliefs and doctrines central to American life in the
1910s. The text of the cartoon includes "A Modern Woman's Task" and
"Taxation Without Representation."
What does this March 20, 1912 cartoon from Judge mean with its emphasis on "pure" democracy? Notice that the image
presents two men and one woman voting; why do you think the artist chose to draw it that
way? What do you suppose these people do for a living? Is this significant? On what
do you base your assumptions?
