EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, published in Puck magazine on May 29, 1912, portrays a man confidently asserting his belief that a woman's place is in the home. Contrary to his traditional views, the woman in the image is seen enjoying an evening out at a nightclub, dressed elegantly in a red dress and a large hat. She appears to be fully engaged in the moment, laughing and sharing a conversation with her companion, who holds her hand across the table. The man's expression suggests a sense of surprise or disapproval, as he grapples with the reality that his wife's place may not be confined to the domestic sphere. This thought-provoking image challenges the societal norms of the time and invites the viewer to reflect on the evolving roles of men and women in the early 20th century.
