Introduction
Analyze the Cartoon
Some takeaways from the political cartoon:
- The woman looks very business-like (traditionally a man's role) and unsympathetic to her family's distress, as she leaves the home.
- The man looks very distraught as he is left to take care of the children and the house, which was traditionally the "woman's job".
- Notice the sign emphasizing that, in this scenario, women get the right to vote.
- The title of the cartoon is "Election Day!" to emphasize how life might be different if women could vote.
