"WOMEN's RIGHTS, 1915. Until Women Vote: American cartoon, 1915, by Rollin Kirby suggesting that women's suffrage will bring an end to intolerable working conditions, such as a 72-hour work week and child labor". This powerful print captures the essence of the early feminist movement in America during the Progressive Era. Created by renowned cartoonist Rollin Kirby in 1915, it serves as a visual representation of the fight for women's rights and their struggle against oppressive working conditions. The image depicts a bustling city street with smokestacks looming in the background, symbolizing industrialization and male-dominated industries. In this scene, men representing the working class are shown toiling under harsh circumstances while being whipped into submission by their employers. However, what makes this artwork truly impactful is its central message – until women vote – implying that granting women suffrage would lead to significant improvements in these deplorable conditions. It suggests that if given political power through voting rights, women would advocate for fairer treatment and put an end to exploitative practices like long work hours and child labor. Kirby's cartoon serves as both a critique of societal norms at that time and an encouragement for political action towards gender equality. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while also highlighting ongoing struggles for equal rights around the world today.
