The figure bravely strides across America's western states —where women already had the right to vote — venturing eastward toward those continuing the struggle for suffrage.⠀ .⠀ Mabel Lucie Attwell's 'Boiling Over' (1914) depicts a young girl standing atop a mountain peak, tears forming in her eyes, she holds a banner labeled 'Achievement' in one hand while the other grasps bundles labeled 'Votes, Equality, [and] Rights'. The below caption reads, 'There's no retreat'.⠀ .⠀ S.D. Ehrhart's 'Signing the declaration of their independence' (1911) shows a group of women at a convention in place of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. These women are presenting their own declaration of independence, which states, 'When in the course of female events it becomes necessary for women to have the ballot they're going to get it'.⠀ .⠀ #votesforwomen #politicalillustration #illustration #suffragetteart #suffragette #19thamendment #onthisdayinhistory」8月19日 3時52分
