EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph captures a significant moment in history as Marguerite Durand, the renowned French actress, journalist, and suffragette, diligently pastes her election poster. Created by Daniel de Losques (Thouroude) in 1910 for Fantasio magazine, this illustration showcases Durand's determination to fight for universal suffrage and women's rights. In the image, Durand is depicted with grace and strength as she stands tall against a backdrop of political turmoil. With a panther by her side symbolizing power and femininity, she exudes confidence in her role as a candidate advocating for votes for women. The tail of the panther cleverly morphs into an electoral poster that boldly declares her message of equality. This cartoon-like portrayal not only highlights Durand's political ambitions but also serves as a testament to the feminist movement during the early 20th century. As glue drips from her hand onto the ground below, it represents both the literal act of pasting posters and metaphorically sticking together society through equal rights. Marguerite Durand's dedication to social change resonates even today. Her legacy lives on through this artwork that encapsulates her tireless efforts as a politician and advocate for gender equality. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in our fight for equal rights while inspiring us to continue striving towards progress.
