Its title, "Votes for workers," states the argument outright, tying the vote to women's paid labor. The Artists' Suffrage League, a London group of women artists who designed campaign material for the cause, published it. During the 1910s, many women took up factory, transport, and clerical jobs, and suffragists argued that those who kept the country running deserved a voice in its laws. The poster is signed by W.F. Winter, and its date is given only as the 191- decade, so it belongs somewhere within the 1910s.
