EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Women's Rights, c. 1870" offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and social climate of 19th century America. Created by an anonymous American School artist, this print measures 24x38 cm and is housed in the esteemed American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The artwork presents a series of vignettes that satirically lampoon women in various roles within political office and civic life. At its center, we see women confidently running polling booths, challenging traditional gender norms. Surrounding this central scene are additional vignettes with captions such as "at home" "the tribune" "trying a speech" "the candidate" "street inspector" "jury" "police" sheriff" and "electioneering". Each vignette humorously portrays women engaging in activities typically associated with men during that era. This lithograph provides valuable insight into the early feminist movement and challenges prevailing societal expectations regarding gender roles. It serves as both a historical artifact and a powerful commentary on the struggle for equality faced by women at that time. Displayed through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this image showcases not only artistic skill but also sheds light on an important chapter in American history – one where feminism began to take root amidst political satire and caricatured depictions of female empowerment.
