Description
Alt text: A satirical postcard titled "The suffragette" features a caricature of a woman dressed in a masculine style with a red blazer, tie, striped skirt over trousers, and a fedora. She has a stern expression, wears round glasses, and holds a sign that reads "Votes for skirts" with a smaller "Help" sign attached below. The top left corner reads "A valentine greeting." Below the illustration, a poem begins, "The thing that really gets our goat, is how you think you’ll get the vote, by standing as a sample show of 'government by petticoat'." The last line of the poem is somewhat cut off at the bottom. A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
