# Judge Magazine, May 22, 1920 This cartoon by Walter De Maris depicts a salon or social gathering with the caption: "In Woman's Struggle for Equal Rights with Man, What Provision Has She Made for Such as These?" The drawing appears to satirize the women's suffrage movement (women gained the vote in 1920). The cartoon shows well-dressed, able-bodied women in a fashionable interior while suggesting the movement has neglected society's most vulnerable—likely the elderly, infirm, or poor visible in the composition. The satire questions whether women's equality advocacy addresses practical concerns for disadvantaged members of society, or focuses only on middle/upper-class women's rights. This reflects conservative criticism of suffragism as self-interested rather than broadly humanitarian.
