Anti-Suffragette postcard, early 1900s (via Retronaut)
See Alice Paul. From the linked post:
Alice Paul, an American suffragette, went on a hunger strike where she was force fed raw eggs (down her nose) until she vomited blood. Prison officials removed Paul to a sanitarium in hopes of getting her declared insane. Her doctor’s reply was, “Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.” Suffrage passed 3 years later.
