Title

Women Need the Vote: Only those who elect Parliament have power to make it serve them.

Description

A British Suffragist woman with short white hair, wearing a long-sleeve ankle-length black dress with a white belt and black boots is 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 displayed 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 and on the banner are the words,”Womens’ Interests.” Her eyes gaze up towards a sign on the door behind her that says, “Electors Only.” The words, “Crowed Out” are written on the bottom left corner of the poster.
