EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Madeleine Pelletier, a remarkable figure from the early 20th century. Taken around 1910 by an anonymous French photographer, this image is now part of the Bibliotheque Marguerite Durand in Paris, France. Madeleine Pelletier was not only a physician and psychiatrist but also a pioneering feminist and socialist activist. Her commitment to women's rights led her to represent the group La Solidarite des Femmes at the Hyde Park demonstrations for women's suffrage in 1908. In this portrait, she exudes strength and determination as she challenges societal norms by dressing in a three-piece suit with short hair, adopting what was traditionally considered masculine attire. The photograph captures Pelletier seated at her desk, symbolizing her intellectual prowess and dedication to reforming gender identity norms. Her half-length pose emphasizes her confident gaze into the camera lens, reflecting her unwavering belief in female emancipation. Pelletier's role as both an advocate for women's liberation and a militant protester is evident through this powerful image. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equal rights faced by women during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historic photograph which offers us insight into one woman's fight for equality while inspiring future generations to continue pushing boundaries and challenging societal expectations.
