1933 Away Broadcasts Cane Dandy Gender Roles Satire Satirical Matter

EDITORS COMMENTS
Anna Zinkiesen's Mariegold Broadcasts: "Soon - it may not matter much - Do away with Men as such!" (1933) This satirical cartoon by Anna Zinkiesen, titled "Mariegold Broadcasts: 'Soon - it may not matter much - Do away with Men as such!'," was published in 1933, during the 1930s. The image depicts a dandyishly dressed woman named Mariegold, seated in an ornate armchair, with a cigar in one hand and a cane in the other. She wears an extravagant costume, complete with a top hat, a long coat, and a monocle, as she confidently addresses an audience of rapt men, who seem to be hanging on her every word. The cartoon is a commentary on gender roles and the changing societal expectations of women during the early 20th century. The title of the image suggests that Mariegold is making a broadcast or announcement, possibly about the emancipation of women and the potential obsolescence of men. The men in the audience, dressed in traditional male attire, appear surprised and somewhat alarmed at the prospect. Zinkiesen's use of satire and exaggerated gender stereotypes in this cartoon highlights the societal tensions and debates surrounding gender roles and expectations during the 1930s. The image challenges traditional gender norms and invites viewers to consider the possibility of a world where women hold power and men's roles may become obsolete. Overall, Anna Zinkiesen's Mariegold Broadcasts is a thought-provoking and visually striking commentary on gender and societal roles, reflecting the cultural shifts and debates of the 1930s.
