Suffrage For All Women?

        In this cartoon, published in Judge on October 12, 1912, the fashionable women hold lacy votes and line up to deposit them in a decorated ballot box. How does this image relate to the popular perception of politics as a rough-and-tumble adventure? Judging from this cartoon is voting an arduous activity, one that would strain the capacities of supposedly delicate women? Why would suffragists use such an image? wpe20.jpg (11301 bytes)
