'The Harem Skirt is an inexpensive garment that may be designed from an old shirt, a waistcoat and a beehive (for a bonnet)'. This card is directly linked to the burgeoning suffrage movement of this period; by adopting female trousers from the harem and making a point of it, a situation developed that left men rather amazed! This card is a harsh satire on the situation and can be seen as anti-suffrage in its ridicule of the lady's fashion choices. 1913
