EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures a thought-provoking cartoon by George du Maurier, published in Punch London on 7 December 1889. Titled "University education for women making their conversation confusing for their less educated friends" the image showcases Du Maurier's satirical take on the evolving role of women in society during the late 19th century. In this engraving, we see a group of educated women engaged in animated discussion while surrounded by their less-educated friends. The scene is filled with humor and irony as the women, who have benefited from university education, appear to be speaking in a language that baffles their companions. This clever portrayal highlights the challenges faced by these pioneering female scholars as they strive to navigate conversations with those who lack similar educational opportunities. Du Maurier's cartoon serves as an early commentary on feminism and gender equality, shedding light on the disparities between men and women when it came to accessing higher education at that time. It reminds us of the importance of equal educational opportunities for all genders and encourages us to reflect upon how knowledge can sometimes create barriers within social circles. Bridgeman Images' reproduction of this historic artwork allows us to appreciate Du Maurier's wit and artistic talent while also serving as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality within academia.
