"De suffragette" postcard

Item

Title
"De suffragette" postcard
Description
Those opposing women's suffrage created their own ephemera to spread their message, like this postcard from 1913 depicting a woman standing on a soap box declaring, “De suffragette upon her box darns der men, but not der sox.” This postcard evidenced that although women may have won the vote in California, there were still strong anti-suffragette sentiments circulating in the United States in the years following 1911.
