A poster produced by the Suffrage Referendum League of Maine that points to the inequalities between Maine and Oregon because Oregon women can vote and Maine women cannot.

The poster was part of a referendum campaign for a constitutional amendment to allow Maine women to vote. The vote was held Sept. 10, 1917 and the amendment was rejected.

The artist is William Ourcadie, pseudonym for Frederic W. Freeman.
