# "Transferring Her Account" - Judge Magazine, September 30, 1922 This cartoon satirizes the relationship between women and banking in the early 1920s. The illustration shows a woman in an elegant, feathered dress being literally carried by a bank teller from one window to another—specifically from a "Receiving Teller" window. The satire appears to mock the notion of women's financial dependence and agency in banking. The title "Transferring Her Account" plays on the dual meaning: both the literal transfer of her banking account and the physical transfer of the woman herself, as if she were property or cargo being moved between departments. This reflects 1920s attitudes about women's limited financial autonomy, even as women were gaining new rights during this era.
