Women's Suffrage Coming East to New York
Description
Political Cartoon from a magazine, 9045 x 6003, digitized version of a drawing in a magazine, February 20, 1915,
World War I was starting on the other side of the world, but America would not join until later. There was a referendum on a suffrage amendment in New York, this prompted the cartoon, but the referendum did not pass. The size of the woman representing the Women's Rights Movement shows the power and momentum people believed the movement had and the people in the East are welcoming her showing how people believed the referendum would be received.
