| Description | Cartoon shows a woman holding a baby as she feeds two children from a pot on a stove in a room heavily damaged by shells. In 1913, a general strike in Belgium forced the granting of suffrage for men, but not for women. The cartoonist suggests the irony that women, denied equality in voting, suffered equally with men when the Germans invaded Belgium at the beginning of World War I. |
