EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut and letterpress print titled "Title Page for The Parliament of Women, 1656" is a satirical masterpiece from the 17th century. This artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, humorously depicts the social upheaval of the English Civil War and mocks Parliament through its witty portrayal of women in power. The print showcases a group of confident and empowered women gathered around a table, symbolizing their newfound authority. The accompanying text describes how these women have enacted merry laws to live luxuriously and dominate over their husbands. It even promises to reveal a revolutionary method to cure cuckolds while restoring their reputation. This newssheet satire was printed for W. Wilson but sold by Fra. Grove at his shop on Snow Hill near the Sarazens Head. Its purpose was to entertain readers with its absurdity while subtly commenting on political issues of the time. Through this artwork, we witness both the misogynistic attitudes prevalent during that era as well as society's ability to use humor as a means of critique. The intricate details in this woodcut highlight not only the craftsmanship involved but also provide insight into historical perspectives on gender roles and power dynamics. Today, this print serves as a fascinating glimpse into past societal norms and acts as a reminder that art has always been used as a powerful tool for commentary and reflection on our world.
