suffragette – Broke Bohemian

Suffragette (Sarah Gavron, 2015)

“Never surrender. Never give up the fight.”

Suffragette (2015) Dir. Sarah Gavron.

I found this anti-suffragette cartoon from the 20s and I think it’s right up there with the anti birth control add that says “Lick my heel”
Like, this is great

A 1903 penny stamped with the suffragette slogan “votes for women”, it circulated as small change, and spread the message of the campaigners

superdames:

“Depicting women in chains was ubiquitous in suffrage cartoons from the 1910s, in which women sought to be emancipated by gaining the right to vote.

…Wonder Woman is bound in almost every one of her adventures, usually in chains. The bondage in Wonder Woman comics raised hackles with [publisher Max] Gaines’s editorial advisory board, but [Wonder Woman co-creator William Moulton] Marston insisted that Wonder Woman had to be chained or tied so that she could free herself — and, symbolically, emancipate herself.”

—From “The Secret History of Wonder Woman” by Jill Lepore

Can we please do away with the notion that bondage in 1940s Wonder Woman comics is nothing more than her creator’s sexual kink?
