What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and satirical essays**, not political cartoons. **"The Modern Woman: A Spade's a Spade"** by Ethel R. Peys is a sharp social satire exposing **gender double standards** in early 20th-century America. It catalogs hypocrisies: women cheering at meetings are called "hysterical" while men are "patriotic"; women in worn clothes lose jobs while men get raises; men forgetting letters show "mental preoccupation" while women show "carelessness." The piece ridicules these inconsistencies. **"Suffrage Snapshots"** by Ida Husted Harper mocks anti-suffrage arguments—particularly the claim that voting women would neglect domestic duties. Harper sarcastically notes that unmarried women, having no husbands to interfere with, should apparently "jump off" the earth, exposing the absurdity of such logic. Both essays advocate for **women's equality and voting rights**, presenting feminist critique through ironic humor. The page reflects Judge's engagement with contemporary suffrage debates (pre-1920 Amendment passage).

THE MODERN WOMAN A Spade’s a Spade By ETHEL R, PEYs Movesty is often just a concealer of bones and sinew. Tact is rarely found in the rich, never in the poor, but occasionally in the “would. be”’ rich. When women cheer at political meetings, it is ‘hysteria’ when men cheer, it is “*patriotism.’ If a woman fritters away her days, she is a‘‘perfect lad; if a man doesn’t make good, he is a ‘‘loafer."* If a man wore spikes in his hat, he'd be jailed; when a woman wears long hatpins, she’s smiled at (as being ‘‘feminine’’), Give a woman a latch ky, and she is independent of the house; give a man a latch key, and he is dependent on the house, Should a man forget to mail a letter, it mental preoccupation"’; should a woman forget to mail a letter, it is ‘‘rank careless. ness."" Woman's desire for the ballot is like the desire for a straw hat in January—the more people have them, the more people demand them. If a woman wore the same clothes day after day to her job in summer, she'd be shipped; when a man does the same, his salary is raised. AMERICAN CHIVALRY IN PERFECT FLOWER Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HARPER “ ‘OMEN cannot perform their duties well,"’ say the anti-suffragists, ‘while assuming an equal right to interfere with their husbands’ duties.’ Alas for those poor ciphers who have no husbands! They should go to the edge of the earth and jump off. A Chicago professor has sued for divorce, because his wife insisted on cooking his food, when he wanted it raw. Seems as if everything is done nowadays to discourage the domestic instincts of women. The vice-president of the National Anti- Suffrage Association says that ‘‘no one now gereoa
