To provide an accurate response to your question regarding the political cartoons from the Progressive Era, I would need specific details or descriptions of the cartoons themselves. However, based on general trends from that time period, political cartoons often sought to influence public opinion and were very much reflective of the social context.
Typically, if the cartoons depict women in a positive light related to voting or show men in a negative context regarding their opposition to women's suffrage, it can indicate that the artist is for women voting. Conversely, if the cartoons portray women as unfit to vote or depict negative stereotypes, it may suggest that the artist is against women voting.
If your cartoons are supporting women's suffrage and portraying women positively, a valid interpretation might be "Women / for women voting."
If they are mocking or criticizing the suffragette movement, the interpretation could lean towards "Men / against women voting."
In the absence of the specific cartoons, consider analyzing their imagery, symbols, and messages to determine the intended audience and stance of the artist.
