Picture description & analysis Draw conclusions from what you can see. [réactivation opinion, suppositions & justifications] In this picture in black and white, two women are holding a sign which says / reads ‘vote for women’. I would say that they must be fighting for their rights to vote. Second, they are wearing old-fashioned dresses so obviously they must have lived in the first half of the 20th century. The words are in English, so obviously they must have lived in an English-speaking country. |
