What you’re looking at

This page combines satirical commentary on early 1900s women's suffrage with period advertising. **The Satire:** "The Modern Woman" section mocks suffragettes through three pieces. The lead anecdote shows a coal heaver ("big grimy" working-class man) initially resistant to women's voting, but swayed by arguments about women's financial competence—then contradicting himself by supporting presidential votes for women but not "ladies." The joke: anti-suffragists used inconsistent reasoning. "Can You Explain" poses rhetorical questions highlighting the hypocrisy of men who simultaneously claimed women were unfit for politics yet trusted them with domestic power and major life decisions. "Suffrage Snapshots" continues this theme, noting men "fear" women voting precisely *because* women will vote responsibly. **Context:** This reflects 1910s-era anti-suffrage arguments portraying voting women as threats to traditional gender roles, while the satire exposes the illogic of those positions. **The Image:** "The Price of Glory" appears to depict historical military conquest, contrasting with suffrage debates about progress and civilization. The page also contains a substantial advertisement for "The Library of Original Sources," a reference book series.

The Modern Woman Mustard and Cress By ETHEL R. PEYSER Women, not Ladies A LARGE and grimy coal heaver was in the crowd around the soap box upon which a young and ardent suffra- gette was making her maiden speech. He looked horribly belligerent, but she bravely addressed all her remarks and smiles to him. She noticed that he perceptibly began to weaken when she made the statement that the workingman’s wife handled the pay envelope of the workingman with such skill that it augured well for the woman’s power to control city or govern- mental things, etc. Then she stepped down from her soap box and stretched out her hand to him and said, “Do you believe in votes for women?” “Yes,’’ he replied, with shrewdness in his big eyes; ‘‘yes, I believe that women ought to vote, but that ladies shouldn’t."’ Substitution "Tis very, very, very strange That every man who's said That women can rock dynasties Place cradles in their stead. Can You Explain— Why suffragettes can stay home long enough to prepare a good Thanksgiving dinner? Why the marriage convention still holds in the suffrage States? Why women still like men to do the proposing? Why all women are not against war? Why women have brains enough for bridge and not for pi ics? Why, if “‘women don’t want the vote,’’ are they working for it so hard? Why spending money doesn’t make mathematicians out of women? Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HARPER OW that President Wilson has re- ceived Colonel Harvey and Colonel Watterson with open arms, he ought to be ready todo the Abraham act with the suffragists. Miss Jane Addams, in her suffrage speeches, insists that men have nothing to fear, for the women will vote right. That very fact gives some of them every- thing to fear. Oo California University girls eat ten tons of candy a year, according to reports; but the boys of that institution can’t prove that they are the sweetest things on earth until candy statistics from the other col- leges come in. The Supreme Court of Illinois has de- cided that the women of that State may Vote for President, but not for county Used by permission of John Wanamaker.
