EDITORS COMMENTS
("Here we are, gathered together to write the first issue") is a satirical lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. The print, titled "Le Sans Culotte litteraire" ("The Literary Sans-Culotte"), depicts a group of women in a cluttered office, intensely focused on organizing the contents of their journal. The women are shown wearing simple, practical clothing, with one woman holding a cigar and another smoking a cigarette, challenging the societal norms of femininity at the time. The image is part of Daumier's series "Les Bas-bleus," which critiqued the emerging class of educated and intellectually engaged women, often referred to as "bluestockings." The satirical tone of the print reflects the misogynistic attitudes prevalent in 19th-century France, which depicted female authors as mannish and unattractive. The women in the print are deeply engrossed in their work, with one asking, "Qu'est ce nous allons commencer par échiner?" ("What are we going to start with?"), and the other responding, "Pour commencer, échignons tout!" ("To begin with, let's get everything sorted out!"). The print was published in the French satirical newspaper Le Charivari on July 14, 1844. This powerful and humorous image is a testament to the determination and perseverance of women in the face of societal prejudice, and continues to resonate with modern audiences as a symbol of the fight for women's rights and equality. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
