In this cartoon, President Grover Cleveland flees across the frame with a copy of a book titled *What I Know About Women's Clubs*, while Susan B. Anthony pursues him with a raised umbrella. Uncle Sam watches from the background, laughing at the president's predicament. Cleveland held office during the early 1890s, when women's clubs and the woman suffrage movement were gaining visibility, and Anthony was among the movement's most prominent leaders. Political cartoons of this kind used such scenes to poke fun at a public figure's perceived discomfort with women's organizing and voting rights.
