EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical artwork titled "Medicine you take with pleasure" captures the essence of women in medicine through a humorous lens. Created by French artist Henri Gerbault, this piece was originally featured in the French humor magazine Frou Frou and later included in the German book "Caricature and Satire in Medicine" by Eugen Hollander. The image portrays a woman representing a doctor standing proudly next to a statue named Esculape, which refers to Asclepius, the Roman and Greek god of medicine. The artist cleverly uses symbolism to depict the connection between women and medicine throughout history. In this caricaturized illustration from the early 20th century, we see an adult female physician dressed in traditional medical clothing of that era. Her pose exudes confidence as she stands alongside Esculape, challenging gender stereotypes prevalent during that time. While some elements may be seen as sexualized or sexist by today's standards, it is important to view this artwork within its historical context. It offers valuable insights into both art history and gender studies, shedding light on societal perceptions surrounding women's roles in medicine during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in achieving equality within healthcare professions while also acknowledging the progress yet to be made.
