This artwork not only highlights societal issues but also reflects changing gender dynamics during that era. It sheds light on how women played an instrumental role in shaping public opinion through activism. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, let us remember its historical significance – reminding us that even centuries ago people recognized the importance of balance and self-control when it came
