The title, "A.D. 1915 - with Puck's apologies to the coming woman," sets this cartoon apart as a look twenty years ahead, playing on the idea of a future in which women hold more public power. It was drawn by Frederick Opper and printed in *Puck*, the New York humor weekly known for color cartoons, in its March 6, 1895 issue. The 1890s were a period of active debate over women's rights, including suffrage campaigns in several states, and magazine cartoonists often used satire like this to comment on those arguments. This reproduction is a color halftone, a printing method that let mass-circulation magazines show images in color.
