This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Militant Mary was an American comic strip published weekly by Associated Newspapers. It is believe to have begun on the 29th of September 1913^[1], however this is dependent on the accuracy of archived newspapers, leaving the possibility that there was an earlier edition that had not been archived. Given that the comics were reprinted across different newspapers, it is unclear when original comics stopped being produced. The comics were signed by Steve Hyde for the majority of the time they were running, but were signed by Elizabeth Kirkman Fitzhugh from January 28, 1918.

Themes

Militant Mary deals with politics, women's liberation, and suffrage.
