John Bull holds the door against women's suffrage, 1870
Of course, nice English ladies, pictured at far right, want nothing to do with these harridans. The cartoon is from Punch, which could always be relied upon to poke fun at any woman who stepped out of line. In America, the push for women's suffrage appears to have started in 1848, when "a group of abolitionist activists — mostly women, but some men — gathered in Seneca Falls, New York, to discuss the problem of women’s rights" [history.com].
