The Suffrage and the Switch: A General Electric Advertisement, Circa 1920
The text:
Woman suffrage made the American woman the political equal of her man. The little switch which commands the great servant Electricity is making her workshop the equal of her man's.
No woman should be required to perform by hand domestic tasks which can be done by small electric motors which operate household devices.
The General Electric Company is working side by side with your local electric light and power company to help lift drudgery from the shoulders of women as well as men.
CAPTION: Millions of American women voted for President in 1920 and are finding time to take active interest in civic affairs
