A Satirical Reversal of Traditional Roles - The Exhausted Husband and the Energetic Suffragette
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 1910s) This satirical print captures the reversal of traditional gender roles in the context of the women's suffrage movement during the early 1900s. The image features a determined suffragette, dressed in a smart suit and carrying a paper on the "Duties of a Wife" and a debate on "Emancipation," as she heads out to her club. In stark contrast, her husband is left at home, looking weary and exhausted, rocking a baby in a basket under a canopy bed. The satire in this print lies in the reversal of expectations. At the time, women were expected to fulfill the roles of wife and mother, while men were the breadwinners and decision-makers. However, this print challenges these traditional norms by depicting the woman as the one leaving for a debate on women's rights and emancipation, while the man is left with the household chores and childcare. The suffragette's brass bedstead in the background serves as a reminder of the marital bed, which was a symbol of women's domestic duties and subservience. The print also highlights the exhaustion and burden that women faced in their daily lives, which fueled their desire for change and the right to vote. This satirical print is an important historical artifact that sheds light on the social and political climate of the early 1900s and the women's suffrage movement. It challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the need for women's emancipation and the right to participate in the political process.
