What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct items: **Top**: A real estate advertisement for an estate near Boston, presented as genuine property listing. **Bottom**: A political cartoon titled "Another Candidate for the Hero's Medal." It depicts a storefront labeled "Woman Suffrage Headquarters" with a figure inside. The satire appears to mock the women's suffrage movement by presenting a suffragist as a candidate for some kind of "hero's medal"—likely using sarcasm to ridicule suffragists' activism. The cartoon reflects early-20th-century opposition to women's voting rights, treating suffrage advocacy as absurd enough to warrant satirical portrayal. The "hero's medal" reference suggests mockery of suffragists' self-perception as champions of a cause.
