What you’re looking at

The top illustration depicts a domestic dispute between a man and woman in a kitchen setting, accompanying a piece titled "Cucumbers As I Have Found Them" by Crawford Charlie. The text suggests a humorous complaint about a wife's cooking or household management. Below that, an article titled "Women's Rights" by Bob Carson addresses women's suffrage and equality—issues striking the town. Carson satirizes the women's rights movement through his narrator's complaints about women activists and their demands for voting rights and expanded roles beyond domestic work. The tone is dismissive and mocking toward female suffrage advocates, reflecting late-19th or early-20th-century anti-feminist sentiment common in satirical publications of *The Wasp's* era.
