"The Ballot is Denied to Woman, The Blot on the Escutcheon," 1910

In the early 20th century, women and men alike joined the already decades-long fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights. To rally support, suffragists often appealed to patriotic sentiments. This postcard suggested that denying women the right to vote tainted the reputation of the United States of America. A constitutional amendment granting women suffrage was finally ratified in 1920.
