New Zealand takes its medicine, suffrage cartoon
This cartoon shows a woman feeding a boy ('Young New Zealand') medicine. The medicine bottle has a label 'Women's Vote' tied around the top.
Female voter: 'Come, come, my boy you have not been looking very well lately. Better try a dose of this nice medicine. It will do you good.'
Young New Zealand: 'I don't like your medicine, thank-you, and I'm feeling all right. But I guess I'll have to swallow it. Maybe it won't hurt me.'
