Description
Alt text: A vintage cartoon postcard titled "The Suffragette" at the top shows a woman with wearing a purple and green gown facing the viewer. She is holding a broom, which has a tag on it reading, "The big stick." She is surrounded by a variety of text, including, "Our choice. Miss Taffy," and "Shall the people rule?", which has the word people crossed out and the word "women" substituted. Other text reads, "Down with the Bossess." A tiny man in suit and top hat, labeled "The Trusts," stands near the hem of the woman's gown and is shown saying, "She's good enough for me." A caption below the image reads, "Our next presidentess." The bottom border has the text, "Copyright 1909 by Walter Wellman. Number 4000." An elaborate artist's signature is also shown near the illustration. A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
