EDITORS COMMENTS
Missing: A Young Lady - Circa 1910 (Spoof Missing Notice, Anti-Suffrage Satire) Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the women's suffrage movement in the early 1910s, this humorous missing person notice serves as a witty reminder of the opposing views that fueled the political debates of the time. The satirical notice, a spoof of the typical missing person posters, features a young woman with a pout and a disapproving expression, as if daring the viewer to take her seriously. The text reads, "MISSING: A Young Lady. Last seen at home, weeping over the loss of her rights as a human being. Wearing a long, flowing skirt, a corset, and a bonnet. If found, please return her to her rightful place - the kitchen. Reward offered for her safe return to her proper sphere." This anti-suffrage satire reflects the deeply entrenched beliefs of those who opposed women's suffrage, viewing women as weak and ill-equipped to participate in the political process. The image pokes fun at the suffragettes' demands for equality and the right to vote, portraying them as emotional and unfit for the rigors of politics. Despite the satire, the women's suffrage movement continued to gain momentum, eventually leading to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote in the United States. This missing person notice, a relic from a bygone era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the time and the ongoing struggle for women's rights and equality.
