At the center of the image, a woman is seen selecting colors for a military uniform, surrounded by a vibrant array of fabrics.

The surrounding vignettes depict women in military uniforms engaging in various activities, such as drilling, cooking, and even playing cards. The cartoon's title, "When Our National Guard is Feminized," suggests a playful challenge to the societal norms of the time. Women's involvement in the military was a contentious issue, with many questioning their ability to perform the physical and mental demands of military service. This illustration, published in a popular magazine like Puck, would have been seen by a wide audience and likely sparked lively debates and conversations. Despite the satirical tone, the cartoon also reflects the growing momentum for women's rights and their increasing presence in various aspects of society, including the military. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and nuanced ways in which societal attitudes towards gender roles have evolved over time. In conclusion, this illustration from Puck magazine, titled "When Our National Guard is Feminized," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a satirical yet insightful look at the changing roles of women in society and the military during the early 20th century.
