The author of the suffrage cartoons entitled I Wonder if its Really Becoming, were Elizabeth Smith Miller and her daughter Anne Fitzhugh Miller. It was conceptualized between 1897 and 1922 in an effort to give women the right to vote. Besides, these two ladies were acknowledged as major contributors in the campaign for womens suffrage movement. Their strong influence in the society provides a tremendous impact on the message of the illustration. Also, the picture tells about the character and personality of the women who demanded for the rights to vote.
Primarily, the cartoon highlights a prominent lady as suggested in her hat and dress that is belonging to an affluent society. The gesture is lady-like which seems difficult to resist in case of the American men. This gesture is being illustrated in the way the woman project herself in the eyes of the two men on her right side, in the way she dressed herself which made her sophisticated and respected, as well as in the way the message is conveyed. Generally, the woman used her charm and beauty to send off her appeal for the right for suffrage. She did not use harsh words but her thought was revealed in a modest manner.
Furthermore, the character of the lady in the picture suggests her intelligence and knowledge of the existing culture of American men of that period. Since they fought for their right, they explored different strategy to carry out what they longed for. This was given emphasis in the dress and the hat as they imply superiority andor equality with men in some sense. This is very obvious in the facial expression of the lady in the picture most obviously in the message on the feather in the hat, we are good as the men and better.
Hence, the illustration reveals the ladies behind the picture as prominent, affluent, intelligent, and important people in the society.
When was the document created Does this help to explain any aspects of the document Does the document reveal anything about women andor womens activism in the period
The document was created during the break of the twentieth century where North America was at the peak of economic and political progress. Many aspects in the picture suggest its timeline as well as the existing political and social condition of North America of that period.
In the first place, the cartoon illustration that depicted womens campaign for equality of rights to suffrage was simple and yet conveyed very strong message given the attitudes of the characters and the easy-to-understand message attached onto it. Obviously, comic strips or cartoon illustration became popular in America during this period to promote political and social views.
Secondly, the image of the characters is another proof that it was made sometime in the early years of twentieth century. As a matter of fact, the illustration shows the period where there was distinction of sexes men do not mingle closely with women in public places the lady in the picture walks on a different direction away with men. The gesture of the lady implies that she is insisting her right no matter what men would say about her. Also, the dress of the characters, which is similar to that of the Europeans, is an indication that it was made during that time.
Lastly, the document clearly illustrates the womens activism. One powerful evidence is the message posted on the hat of the lady which says that they are as good as men and better. The facial expression of men in the picture expresses confusion and ridiculous attitude towards the lady. It portrays that it is unusual for ladies of that time to go on public to display dissatisfaction or to promote their rights.
What was the original purpose of the document Do you feel that the producer of the document accomplished hisher purpose Why or why not
The document was made as a means to publicly convey their thoughts and admiration which was to be given the opportunity to take part in the suffrage. Everyone could imagine then that the condition and welfare of women of that period was different from today because important position in the public and private offices were occupied and dominated by men. We can therefore conclude that women were discriminated by men.
Given this, the authors would like to portray that women like men are capable to think and choose the right leaders for the country. Like men, they had rights to practice and to protect. Again, the dress, the hat, and the gestures illustrate dignity and identity, which for them is important to consider why they must be given the right to vote and to practice that right with acceptance from the society.
Based on the historical outcome, the authors purpose was accomplished because American women now enjoy a lot of privileges. However, to look at the authors purpose of delivering a strong message that women have the moral fibre to claim for that right, I guess they were successful because it leaves a strong impact despite simplicity of idea and presentation. The cartoon illustration is very suggestive of the existing culture and the existing problem as it was presented using two men and one lady in her excellent and gorgeous attire.
Indeed, the authors accomplished their ultimate purpose because many people had read it published in important newspapers in their country. The simple request of recognizing their rights particularly the right to vote which had no intention to resort to a violent argumentation with the male group is effective enough to be given consideration.
What does the document reveal about attitudes toward women at the time it was written Try to explain the reasons for those attitudes.
Closer look reveals a number of attitudes towards women that were evident in the document. The two men gazing at the woman looks astonished and wondering about the peculiar image of the woman. Apparently, those gestures depict reactions which were based on a cultural orientation of the time. For the two men, the image they were seeing was representing folly in the sense that the woman looks weird to them.
They cannot understand what she was driving at because their mind set was attached to the existing normative male superiority context. This reflects an attitude that not only looks down on women as subordinate to men but also relegating women to domestic roles. It could be noticed that the men were not surprised on the woman style of dress but on the cap she was wearing. Indeed, what was astonishing for the men were that, the woman was wearing a cap worn only by distinguished men with demands asserting their rights, written on each leaves a top the cap.
This attitude was obviously defiance to the womens movement that they are given equal rights with men, asserting that they can do also what men can do and that they can sometimes eve do it better than men.
The mens gestures also depict an attitude that do not approved of the women movement simply on the ground that during the pre industrialization context, womens domain was the home. This reflects a general feeling that men were more contented their wives were in the home taking care of the family. That is, the reactions of the men were based on the context of the separation of roles between husband and wife being the home as the domain of the wife and to earn for the family being the responsibility of the husband. While this may be seen as positive agenda for the family, but this attitude towards women also reflect a condition that was unfavorable to womens assertion for the recognition of their rights.
