Source A GCSE History coursework :: essays research papers

This question is going to investigate how reliable source A is, ab away peoples attitude towards wo handss suffrage. Source A shows waomen holding cover and leaflets walloping on the door, but John bull is barricading the door. John cop is portrayed as the British Government not letting women into sevens to get the pick out, he has fists clenched and is determined to not let women in. The women banging on the door look ugly, fat, un-ladylike and funky, the drawist may be biased towards women acquire the vote. This is emphasised by the title An Ugly Rush. The women protesting may be the suffragists, the leaflets and papers that the women are holding could be petitions and posters. They resemble spinsters. In the scope there is a group of elegant, formal posh and ladylike women, iodin woman has a child. Theses women may be frowning at the riffraff of women in disgust. It is possible that the women in the background are the Anti-Suffrage League. The message of this cartoon is that men dont want women to view the vote. The person who pull this carton could have been a biased male, against womens suffrage. This carton was out in the late 19th century early 20th century. penetrate powder magazine was published by a group of liberals who campaigned for the poor and functional classes. By 1870 the magazine was in big trouble as it could wholly sell 6,000 copies a week but it needed to sell at least 10000 copies a week to pay for the venture. So the magazine started to appeal to middle-class men. John Bull became a common routine in the magazine, around the 19th century. He was portrayed as a hero of Britain. He often wore a Union Jack waist coat. This source may not be reliable as it could have been drawn by a biased male. But the source shows whatever women not campaigning for the vote, because not all women wanted to have the vote like upper-class women , they didnt care because they had a good life. The men liked some of the women for not wanting the vote so the cartoonist in this source has praised them by making them look smart and elegant, and not dirty and ugly. The Source isnt very useful because the cartoonist was biased towards womens suffrage, so he could of made the campaigning women look like a big unorganised rabble.
