What you’re looking at
This page satirizes early 20th-century feminism and women's suffrage. The central poem "Her Voice" mocks a man attracted to a woman making "suffrage pleas" from a soapbox—inverting romantic ideals by suggesting modern women's political activism replaces traditional femininity. "The First Woman Voter" references Lady Deborah Moody, who apparently voted in 1655 New York, positioning her as America's first female voter. The article humorously suggests New York women will scramble for the honor of being "first" at the polls in an upcoming election (likely 1920, before the 19th Amendment). The cartoon showing "1,000,000 Women Voters" illustrates the anxieties many contemporaries felt about women's political participation—treating mass female voting as a notable, somewhat alarming phenomenon. The remaining content consists of period advertisements (Coca-Cola, Absorbine liniment, Evans shoe polish) typical of Judge's revenue model.

Mh” THE MODERN WOMAN Curbside Comments By OREOLA W. HASKELL Her Voice T WAS her voice that lured me at the first: Not lifted high in music’s mellow burst; Not heard in vibrant calling, low and clear, Within a glade at twilight, to bring near The sleepy birds; not laughter-lit nor slow With sobbing cadences of pain or woe— But ringing clear in argument’s appeal, It made me round a city corner steal, Until I reached her standing at her ease, Upon a soap box making suffrage pleas. Times change, but age-old romance never goes.
