If they aren't married by 40, they will become a suffragette by 50

It is suggesting that suffragist women are improper in their youth and play around, and end up not married so they turn out "wrong" because they didn't have a man

The picture shows that the only reason that woman fought for the suffrage movement is because they didn't get to experiance woman hood such as marriage so it led them to fight against the norm

its saying that when you're old and alone that's when you can want rights.

I believe the message we get is the older generation of women they end up with nothing but suffrage and non equality and fairness

They joined the suffragette movement because they were single and not mothers, knowing that at the time, a woman's job was to be a mother and raise children and now its late for that

This postcard makes fun of women who wanted the right to vote. It shows a girl growing up from being a “little pet” at 15, to a flirt at 20, to being unmarried at 40, and finally becoming a suffragette at 50. The message it gives off is that women only became suffragettes because they were unhappy or had failed at being what society expected them to be like wives or mothers. It basically says that if a woman isn’t married or admired by men, she’ll end up bitter and angry, joining a movement for attention. It’s a really unfair way to look at women who were brave enough to fight for equal rights. Instead of seeing them as strong or determined, it tries to shame them by making them seem unwanted or ridiculous.
