Description
Alt text: A historical six-panel cartoon postcard titled "Votes for Women." Each of the first five panels shows a woman doing a traditionally accepted activity (mopping, nursing, working in a factory, carrying a laundry basin, and waiting tables), with captions like "It doesn't 'unsex' her to do this" or "or this." The final panel shows a woman confidently approaching a polling place (labeled "POLLS") with the caption: "BUT THIS IS ANOTHER STORY." The postcard argues that if these activities don't "unsex" a woman, neither should voting. A dark band at the bottom has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
