Description
Alt text: A vintage black-and-white postcard titled "Polling booth" shows a woman in academic regalia standing beside a man in prison uniform labeled "2." The caption reads "Companions in disgrace," satirizing the denial of voting rights to women by comparing them to convicts. A poem below contrasts the post-prison voting rights of men with the continued disenfranchisement of women.The poem reads, "Companions in Disgrace. Convicts and Women kindly note, Are not allowed to have the vote; The difference between the two I will now indicate to you. When once the harmful man of crime, In Wormwood Scrubbs has done his time, He at the poll can have his say, The harmless woman never may. C.H." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
