EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satirical cartoon titled "The Coming Race" by George du Maurier, published in Punch magazine on September 14,1872. The artwork humorously depicts the patronizing attitude women in the medical profession faced from their male colleagues during the Victorian era. In this scene, a female doctor is shown holding an umbrella while surrounded by men wearing top hats. The woman's attire reflects the fashion of the time, with her dress and hat indicating her professional status. However, despite her credentials as a physician, she is subjected to condescending treatment from her male counterparts. This cartoon serves as a powerful commentary on gender discrimination and sexism prevalent in 19th-century Britain. It highlights the challenges women faced when pursuing careers in professions traditionally dominated by men. George du Maurier's engraving skillfully captures both the social dynamics of that era and his own critique of such attitudes. By using satire to expose these issues, he contributes to ongoing discussions about sexual equality and feminism. As we reflect upon this historical image today, it reminds us of how far society has come in terms of gender equality while also serving as a reminder that there is still work to be done to ensure equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of their sex or gender identity.
