EDITORS COMMENTS
exclaims the woman in this 1844 caricature by Honore Daumier. She is seen gesturing towards a poster advertising "Bluestockings - 40 Caricatures by Daumier" with a price tag of 20 francs. The term "Bluestockings" was used derogatorily to refer to educated women who wore blue stockings instead of the traditional hoop skirts. This satirical print reflects the societal attitudes towards women's education and their role in society during the 19th century. The woman's outrage is evident as she questions the Government's permissiveness towards the display of such caricatures. The caricatures, which were a series of lithographs by Daumier, were likely considered misogynistic and sexist in nature, poking fun at women's intellectual pursuits and their desire for equality. The print is a testament to the ongoing struggle for women's rights and gender equality during the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the challenges faced by women in their quest for education and recognition in a male-dominated society. The image, with its sharp lines and intricate details, is a powerful commentary on the societal norms of the time and the role of art in shaping public opinion. This print is now a part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and provoke thought on the complex relationship between art, society, and gender. The image, with its rich historical significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of women's rights, satire, and the evolution of societal attitudes towards gender roles.
