EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Victoria Claflin Woodhull, a prominent American reformer from the late 19th century. In this thought-provoking cartoon by Thomas Nast, created in 1872, Woodhull is depicted as "Mrs. Satan" symbolizing her controversial advocacy for Free Love. The image portrays Woodhull standing confidently on a mountain peak, surrounded by a group of individuals representing various societal issues such as feminism, politics, and temperance movement. With an evil-looking horn protruding from her head and a text reading "Get Thee Behind Me" she challenges traditional norms and confronts the viewer with her audacity. Woodhull's beliefs in free love and marriage equality were radical for their time but also made her an influential figure among suffragettes and suffragists. However, these progressive ideas were met with fierce opposition from conservative groups who saw them as threats to family values. Despite facing criticism throughout her life, Woodhull remained steadfast in fighting for social reforms while advocating for women's rights. This powerful image serves as both satire and political commentary on the complexities surrounding gender roles and societal expectations during that era. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured through artistry, it reminds us of the courage required to challenge established norms and fight for change even when faced with adversity.
