A Brave Lady hurdles 'Members of the National ClubA Brave Lady, 1872. Voting at the local elections had been open to women rate payers since 1869. Punch here takes a sardonic look at the ability of women to cast a thoughtful and considered vote. This cartoon is noteworthy, though, as it was drawn by one of the journal's earlier female artists. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 23, 1872.
