EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print from 1851 depicts a Preparatory School for Young Ladies, where the students are seen in aprons studying cookery in a kitchen. The scene is comical as small girls wearing dunces' caps look on. In this era, young ladies were often encouraged to become good housewives and excel in domestic duties.
The hand-colored etching by John Leech captures the essence of Victorian society's expectations of women during that time. The image is both humorous and thought-provoking, highlighting the absurdity of limiting women to traditional gender roles.
Through this cartoonish portrayal, we can see how societal norms and expectations shaped the education and aspirations of young women in the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and empowerment.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history while also prompting us to reflect on how far we still have to go in breaking free from outdated stereotypes and embracing diversity and inclusion.
