EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon from 1909, titled "WOMENs RIGHTS, 1909. Election Day!" by E. W. Gustin, captures the essence of the women's suffrage movement in America during that time. The image portrays a suffragette leaving her two infant children in the care of her husband as she prepares to go out and exercise her right to vote. The scene takes place in a kitchen, with various elements symbolizing both traditional gender roles and the fight for equality. The woman is depicted wearing an apron and hat, signifying domesticity, while holding a ballot box representing the power of voting. Her husband is shown taking on childcare responsibilities with one child crying in his arms and a cat at his feet. Gustin's cartoon aims to satirize the women's suffrage movement by highlighting societal expectations placed upon women as wives and mothers. It challenges these norms by presenting a scenario where gender roles are reversed temporarily due to political engagement. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then regarding women's rights and their participation in democracy. It also prompts reflection on ongoing struggles for gender equality around the world today.
