/Ob sci.lang: The Wikipedia article features a dynamic poster for IWD
in Germany, 1914. "This poster was banned in the German Empire."
One line on the poster reads: "Heraus mit dem Frauenwahlrecht."
I find it hard not to translate that as "Out with women's right to
vote"; but in English that would give the opposite of what I'm sure was
the intended meaning. So it's really something like "Come out and show
your support for....". Am I right?
That would be my guess as well. It's an odd phrasing from today's
perspective.
