EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 19th century with this illustration depicting an archery contest, where women are not just spectators but active participants. The scene is filled with excitement and tension as these ladies showcase their skills in a traditionally male-dominated sport.
The year is 1887, and the air is buzzing with anticipation as the competitors take aim at their targets. The intricate details of their attire and equipment transport us to a bygone era where archery was not just a pastime, but a serious competition.
In a time when societal norms dictated strict gender roles, it is refreshing to see women breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes by engaging in physical activities like archery. Their determination and focus are evident in their posture and expressions, proving that they are more than capable of holding their own in this traditionally masculine arena.
This print serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of women throughout history, who have always found ways to defy expectations and carve out spaces for themselves in every aspect of life. It celebrates the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and empowerment that transcends time periods and continues to inspire us today.
