EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "We Only Want What the Men Have Got" - A Hilarious Vote for Women Satire from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard is a prime example of the satirical humor used during the suffrage movement in Britain. The image features a plump, fat woman, dressed in the colors of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), with a determined look on her face and a banner that reads "Votes for Women." The caption below the illustration reads, "We only want what the men have got!!!" The satire in this postcard is twofold. First, it pokes fun at the stereotype of women's size and their perceived lack of political importance. By depicting a large woman demanding the same rights as men, the artist is using humor to challenge societal norms and expectations. Second, the satire highlights the absurdity of women's exclusion from the political process. The woman's demand for the same rights as men is presented as a simple and reasonable request, making the viewer question why women were not already granted the franchise. This postcard is a testament to the power of humor in political campaigns. It was created during a time when the suffragette movement was at its peak, and the use of satire and ridicule was a common tactic to draw attention to the cause and challenge the status quo. The artist of this postcard is unknown, but it is reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, a well-known British satirical artist who is famous for his humorous postcards. This piece is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the suffrage movement and the important role that satire and humor played in shaping public opinion and advancing women's rights.
