The new woman was the Gibson Girl, created by Charles Gibson in the drawings he made for popular magazines of the time.  She was independent, educated, an activist, mature, a sportswoman, competent, a professional, and dared to live her life without a man!​  Charles portrayed her as an equal to men.  The Gibson Girl was depicted to be personifying beauty, to have limited independence, and to have personal fulfillment.  In some pictures she was shown going to college and vying for a good mate.  However, one thing Charles did not portray her as was a part of the suffrage movement.
