EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 1918 cartoon, a lady chauffeur confidently handles the controls of a gas-powered car, much to the dismay of her surprised passenger, Alfred. The double novelty of motorized transportation and women in non-traditional roles during the First World War period is humorously depicted in this image. With the men at the front lines, women stepped up to fill various roles on the home front, including those of chauffeurs. The advent of the gas-powered car brought about a newfound freedom and independence for women, allowing them to travel and work in ways previously unimagined. The cartoon's caption, "You'll have to get rid of the chauffeurette, Alfred - she's getting much too flighty," playfully pokes fun at the societal expectations of women's behavior and their newfound roles behind the wheel. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of technology and gender roles during a time of great change.
