Title
Woman's Journal and Suffrage News, May 29, 1915
Description
Political cartoon by Charles H. "Bill" Sykes published by Woman's Journal and Suffrage News, Vol . 46, No.22, May 29, 1915.
A dour woman named "Anti-Suffrage" sits on the steps to block several young girls from leaving a house. Outside, girls from states where women have the vote (California, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc.) are holding hands and playing a circle game. A young girl in pilgrim costume (Massachusetts) is peering outside.
Caption reads:
Chorus from within (Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania): "Why can't we play, too?"
Publication note: Adapted from the Springfield Republican
