Endorsed Million Progressive Savory Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Votes Wives Rights Roaster
EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from 1914 showcases the powerful alliance between the women's suffrage movement and consumer culture. The Savory Roaster, a household appliance, proudly boasts the endorsement of "Two million of our most progressive American house-wives." The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, had gained significant momentum by this time, and the inclusion of this endorsement in the advertisement was a strategic move to tap into the growing influence and purchasing power of women. The image features several suffragettes, dressed in their iconic white blouses and purple and green sashes, standing together in solidarity, holding up the Savory Roaster as a symbol of their progress. The caption below reads, "Votes for Women," emphasizing the connection between women's suffrage and their role as consumers and homemakers. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of social and political movements and commercial advertising in early 20th century America. The Savory Roaster may have been a common household appliance, but in this context, it became a powerful symbol of women's progress towards gaining the right to vote and shaping their own futures.
