This poem and illustration, submitted by the name "A. Bachelor," are prime examples of the socially conservatives' views on The New Woman. The freedom granted to women at the time was seen as a threat by many men, who were used to total subordinance from women. THe illustration shows a monstrous man painting an image of what looks like a New Woman. The poem is incredibly dismissive of the rights being gained by women at the time, and shrugs it off by implying that soon enough, this zest for freedom will die down and men will be in complete power once again.
