Andronicus Anger Attire Attired Bloomerism Bloomers Disapproval Disapproving Parental Parents Titus Rebuke Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from circa 1910, a young woman proudly dons her modern outdoor attire, embodying the spirit of the New Woman movement. Daringly clad in a suit and bloomers, she revels in the freedom and independence that this new fashion represented. However, her joy is short-lived as her disapproving parents approach, their faces etched with anger and disapproval. The scene is reminiscent of Titus Andronicus's famous line from Act V, Scene 3, where Tamora asks her son "Why Art Thou thus attired?" as she recoils at his unconventional clothing. The New Woman's bold sartorial choices challenged societal norms and provoked strong reactions from those who clung to traditional gender roles. This humorous yet poignant image captures the tension between the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, and the struggle for women's rights and autonomy in fashion and beyond.
