Description
-
This British suffrage poster depicts a woman with short white hair, wearing a long-sleeve ankle-length black dress with a white belt and black boots, sitting on steps outside of a columned arched doorway, her body facing forward. The woman’s shadow outlines her body on the doors. The arch doors are large and heavy and above them are the words, “Political Power.” The woman’s right hand sits on the top step holding her in a sitting position, and her left arm holds a banner that is draped over her lap. The banner reads, ”Womens’ Interests.” Her eyes gaze up towards a sign on the door behind her that says, “Electors Only.” The words, “Crowded Out” are written on the bottom left corner of the poster in black type. The top of the poster, in large red uppercase font, reads "WOMEN NEED THE VOTE." At the bottom of the poster, in red font, is printed "Only those who elect Parliament have power to make it serve them."
