# "Everything but the vote is still to be won" (Equal Rights, 24 February 1923)

Susan B. Anthony holds up the Bill of Rights and faces two young women who hold slips marked 'Vote'. The tell: the campaign's founder, dead since 1906, is made to speak to the present and say the work is not finished.

This drawing appeared in Equal Rights, the National Woman's Party weekly, on 24 February 1923, after the 19th Amendment of 1920 had turned the party toward an equal rights amendment. Susan B. Anthony holds up the Bill of Rights and faces two young women holding slips marked "Vote". Testimonial is the tell: Anthony, dead since 1906, is made to vouch for the present campaign and to say the work is unfinished, so her standing is meant to settle the question.
