This image depicts Elizabeth Webb Nicholls, then President of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of South Australia (WCTU). Mrs Nicholls is shown ‘tilting at windmills’, a phrase taken from the novel Don Quixote in which the titular character begins fighting windmills he imagines to be giants. The cartoon therefore shows Mrs Nicholls fighting what the cartoonist sees as the false enemies or ‘windmills’ of tobacco and alcohol.

This is a picture of women working in a factory circa 1890. The conditions in these factories were often hot, dangerous and inadequate, with substandard facilities. One of the areas in which suffragists worked for change was in improving working conditions for women, and creating women's trade unions.
