New Zealand takes its medicine, suffrage cartoon

This cartoon shows a woman giving a boy (‘Young New Zealand’) medicine from a bottle labelled ‘Women’s Vote’.

Woman: ‘Come, come, my boy you have not been looking very well lately. Better try a dose of this nice medicine. It will do you good.’

Young New Zealand: ‘I don't like your medicine, thank-you, and I’m feeling all right. But I guess I’ll have to swallow it. Maybe it won’t hurt me.’
