# Life Magazine, March 11, 1920 This appears to be a portrait cover rather than a political cartoon. The image shows a woman wearing a dark coat and cloche hat (fashionable 1920s style) with a stern or serious expression. The caption reads "NOT DEMOBILIZED." The phrase "demobilized" refers to the post-World War I period—soldiers were being demobilized (discharged from military service). The satire likely comments on women's roles during and after the war. "Not demobilized" suggests this woman remained active, serious, or militant in some cause—possibly women's suffrage or labor activism, which were prominent issues in 1920. The stern expression reinforces the idea of unwavering commitment to her cause rather than returning to pre-war domesticity.
