Titled "woman of the future," early 1900s 
French anti-suffrage propaganda. From a series of "humor" cards, intended to demonstrate how ridiculous women would look in positions of authority. This one mocks the idea of a woman mayor.
I think she looks grand. And how wonderful that their worst fears just came true in Houston!

WOW! Is she single?
I was thinking something similar, Carol.

she is too cute! :)
i love these, keep 'em coming
Makes me wonder whether she was feeling as attractive as she looks. Or did she feel rediculous, because that was how society looked at images like this a century ago?
Well, she does look ridiculous. Everyone knows that full length white opera gloves don't go with a top hat at all after Labor Day. Oh, wait. Maybe I'm a little off...
Just think, 100 years from now internet journalists will be putting up some of these posts hopefully as "Just think, this is what they had to go through..." At least, I hope they will.
*bursts out laughing*
Marvelous picture. It helps to remind us how far some things have come in general.
