Suffragette Chicken as New Woman
Suffragette Chicken as New Woman. A chicken dressed as a New Woman in tweed suit, hat, spats, carrying a walking stick and smoking. Rather masculine in appearance, the bird adopts a version of rational dress free from the constraints of traditional women's fashions. Smoking was also a sign of her emancipation. Captioned, Votes for Women
