Suivez bien mon raisonnement, Eudoxie... 1844. Creator: Honore Daumier
Suivez bien mon raisonnement, Eudoxie... 1844. Suivez bien mon raisonnement, Eudoxie...tout doit tendre a un but humanitaire, en consequence chaque ligne que nous ecrivons doit proceder de l'analyse pour arriver a la synthese...sans quoi le socialisme n'est plus que de l'egoisme...engendrant le materialisme et...vous offrirai-je encore une tasse de the?...'. Women discussing socialism: Follow my reasoning carefully, Eudoxie...everything must tend towards a humanitarian goal, consequently each line that we write must proceed from analysis to arrive at synthesis...without which socialism is nothing more than selfishness...begetting materialism and...might I offer you another cup of tea?...'. Satirical criticism of bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare. Female authors were often depicted as mannish and ugly - the implication being that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. From Les Bas-bleus, no. 31

Suivez bien mon raisonnement, Eudoxie... 1844
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, showcasing a thoughtful and engaging conversation between two women, deep in discussion about socialism. The image, taken from the satirical publication "Les Bas-bleus," no. 31, offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual discourse of the time, as well as societal attitudes towards women and their intellectual pursuits. The women, seated at a table laden with teacups and a stack of papers, are engrossed in their conversation. One woman, Eudoxie, looks intently at her companion as she passionately explains the importance of analysis and synthesis in the pursuit of humanitarian goals, the foundations of socialism. Her companion listens attentively, offering encouragement with a nod and a smile. The caption, written in French, highlights the significance of their conversation and the importance of reason and intellectual rigor in the pursuit of social and political change. The women's intellectual engagement and seriousness are in stark contrast to the societal expectations of women at the time, who were often relegated to domestic roles and dismissed as frivolous or unintelligent if they showed any interest in intellectual pursuits. The print satirizes the derogatory term "bluestockings," which was used to describe women with intellectual interests beyond housework and childcare. Female authors were often depicted as mannish and ugly, implying that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. Despite the satire, the print celebrates the intellectual curiosity and engagement of women, and their role in shaping societal discourse and driving change. The image remains a powerful reminder of the importance of intellectual rigor, critical thinking, and the pursuit of knowledge, regardless of gender.
