The Wife of the Period - Suffer No Little Children to Come Unto Me, 1869
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking wood engraving by Thomas Nast that captures the complexities of societal expectations and gender roles in 19th-century America. The image depicts a masquerade party where men and women are wearing masks, symbolizing their hidden identities and conforming to social norms. In this satirical cartoon, Nast critiques the traditional role of women as wives and mothers. The central figure, representing "The Wife of the Period" stands defiantly with her arms crossed, rejecting a child who approaches her. This powerful gesture challenges the prevailing notion that women should prioritize motherhood above all else. Nast's use of humor highlights the absurdity of these societal expectations. The writing on the wall behind "The Wife" further emphasizes this point, suggesting that society imposes its own rules upon individuals. This artwork also touches on political themes such as equality and sexism prevalent during that era. By portraying a woman refusing children at an opera box party attended by both genders, Nast questions whether women have agency over their own lives or if they are merely objects for male pleasure. Overall, "The Wife of the Period - Suffer No Little Children to Come Unto Me" serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of gender equality while prompting us to reflect on lingering stereotypes and expectations placed upon individuals based on their gender roles.
