Walker in 1901 Misogynist Cartoon

This 1901 Louis Dalrymple cartoon from the humor periodical Puck urges the upcoming "Buffalo Exposition" (the Pan-American Exposition, a world's fair to be held at Buffalo, New York) to "have a chamber of female horrors." Feminist, suffragist, and temperance leaders of the time are satirized.
