EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "What We Are Coming To" transports us back to the year 1898. Created by Walter H. Gallaway and published in Puck magazine, it offers a satirical commentary on gender roles during that era. The scene unfolds within an office setting, where a woman sits confidently at a desk while typing on a typewriter. Her male counterpart stands beside her, seemingly perplexed by this role reversal. The image challenges societal norms of the time when women were typically confined to domestic duties rather than professional careers. With its clever wit and artistic execution, this print captures the spirit of the women's rights movement that was gaining momentum in late 19th-century America. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and highlights the ongoing struggle for equal opportunities for all. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this historical artifact provides valuable insight into our collective past and prompts us to reflect on the progress made since then. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, let us celebrate those who fought tirelessly for gender equality while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in achieving true parity between men and women in all aspects of life.
