Title: We want our rights / Rea Irvin.
Other Title: Ancient history
Creator(s): Irvin, Rea, 1881-1972, artist
Date Created/Published: 1912.
Summary: Single panel cartoon, drawn in the style of the decoration on a Greek vase, shows Susan B. Anthony, clad in flowing garments, poking a startled man in the chest with an umbrella. She is followed by other women, one carrying a sign reading, 'We Want Our Rights.' Anthony was a leader of the women's rights movement in the nineteenth century, focussing not only on suffrage, but on economic, social, and legal rights as well. When she died in 1906, women had still not won the right to vote, but she was followed by other women who took up the struggle. Women finally received the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. The drawing includes the legend, 'A.D. CXCV' at the bottom of the picture. The significance is not clear.
