EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact from 1857, the "Bloomer Songsheet". Titled "The New Costume Polka" this American songsheet cover is dedicated to Mrs. Lydia Bloomer (correctly known as Amelia Bloomer). At first glance, the image transports us back to an era of fashion and feminism. The sheet music cover features a vibrant illustration that captures the essence of women's empowerment during this time period. A group of stylishly dressed women can be seen in their revolutionary bloomers, which were loose-fitting trousers worn under shorter skirts. Amidst the spirited polka dance depicted on the sheet music cover, we witness these trailblazing women confidently embracing their new attire and challenging societal norms. Their fashionable hats and parasols add an air of elegance to their middle-class appearance. This image serves as a reminder of the suffragette movement and its connection to fashion reform. Amelia Bloomer played a significant role in advocating for women's rights through her endorsement of practical clothing choices like bloomers. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, let it inspire us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of gender equality while acknowledging those who paved the way for progress.
