Suffragettes-Votes-For-Women-Cartoons-Punch-Magazine-1913
I find this interesting because it shows a woman fighting for her political rights in 1913, at the height of “Tangomania” having her actions subverted by the policeman who, by turning his arrest of her into a tango, thinks it is all a joke and undermines her serious undertaking. The key thing is that she is being pushed back, however genially, into a world of ‘natural’ and ‘feelings’ – associated with tango and women – instead of rational thought and the world of men.
