Bichette...viens donc arranger ma rosette!
EDITORS COMMENTS
("Bichette, come and fix my rosette!", 1844) is a satirical print by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This image captures a heated moment between a husband and wife, with the wife, Bichette, refusing to tie her husband's tie and expressing her disdain for the traditional gender roles and expectations. The scene unfolds in the couple's home, with the husband holding out his necktie, demanding his wife to tie it for him. Bichette, with a determined expression, responds with a fiery speech, declaring her intention to reject the societal norms that bind women to domestic duties and men to their ties. She references an article by Artemise Jabutot, a female author and advocate for women's rights, published in the Gazette des femmes libres ("Gazette of free women"). In her article, Jabutot urged women to embrace their intellectual pursuits and reject the confining ties and buttons that symbolized their subservient roles. This print is a powerful commentary on the societal expectations of women during the 19th century, particularly those who dared to challenge traditional gender roles and pursue intellectual interests beyond housework and childcare. Female authors were often depicted as "bluestockings," an insulting term used to describe women with intellectual pursuits and an androgynous appearance. The implication was that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. Daumier's print is a testament to the courage and determination of women like Bichette, who refused to be defined by their gender and societal expectations. The print is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of challenging societal norms that limit individual freedom and expression.
