A group of male senators stands clustered together in dark suits. One holds a document labeled designated female that features a portrait of Rachel Mitchell. A speech bubble from the group reads we need a woman to do our job.

Women wearing blue shirts printed with the word vote stand on the right side of the scene. One speech bubble from their direction asks how about eleven women. Text near the bottom states they would be pleasing if they smiled more.

The image appeared on September 27 2018 during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. Rachel Mitchell was brought in by Republican members to question Christine Blasey Ford. The cartoon shows the senators presenting Mitchell as their designated female while women voters respond directly.

The visual places the senators in the foreground holding the document while the women stand apart on the right. The composition highlights the contrast between the single designated figure and the suggestion of multiple women. The small text at the bottom adds a pointed remark about expectations for appearance.

The cartoon uses the hearing setting to show the senators turning to one woman for the questioning task. The response from the women voters points to a larger group ready to participate. Publication occurred amid active debate over the confirmation process and turnout for the midterm elections.
