Additional information: What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose is an old-fashioned saying used to emphasize that if one person is allowed to do something or to behave in a particular way, then another person must be allowed to do that thing or behave in that way, too. The Artists’ Suffrage League was an informal organization that published women’s suffrage materials in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1907, the Artists' Suffrage League consisted of professional women artists who made posters and flyers to raise awareness and support for suffrage. American suffragists could see American Suffrage League art in the popular British newspaper Votes for Women.
