When Women Vote - After dinner, the girls will have to listen to politics

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration by the renowned American artist, Charles Dana Gibson, from the year 1909. This iconic print, published by Illustrated London News Ltd, showcases a group of women gathered around a table, engaged in a heated political discussion after dinner. The scene is dominated by two middle-aged, stout women, both wearing glasses and donning serious expressions, deeply engrossed in the conversation. Their masculine attire, including blouses with collars and ties, further emphasizes their focus on the political matters at hand. In stark contrast, the other women in the group, young and beautiful, display a clear lack of interest in the topic. Their bored expressions are evident, with some even going as far as to smoke and look away, while others appear distracted or restless. This illustration, titled "When Women Vote," is a prime example of the stereotypes that were prevalent during the early Women's Suffrage Movement. The unattractive, uninterested, and masculine portrayal of the women involved in politics was a common trope used to undermine their efforts for enfranchisement. However, the humorous and satirical nature of Gibson's work adds an intriguing layer to the image, making it both a reflection of the time and a commentary on societal expectations. This print serves as a testament to the complexities of the Women's Suffrage Movement and the various ways in which it was portrayed in popular culture. It is a fascinating glimpse into history, offering a unique perspective on the struggle for women's rights and the stereotypes that surrounded it.
