Comment! encore une caricature sur nous.. 1844. Comment! encore une caricature sur nous, ce matin, dans le Charivari!...ah! jour de ma vie! J'espere bien que cette fois c'est la derniere!...et si jamais ce Daumier me tombe sous la main, il lui en coutera cher pour s'etre permis de tricoter des Bas bleus.'. Woman to colleague: What! Yet another caricature about us this morning in the Charivari!...ah! my goodness! I really hope that this time is the last!...and if I ever get my hands on this Daumier, it will cost him dearly for having dared to knit [ie needle] Blue Stockings'. Satirical criticism of bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare.

Comment! encore une caricature sur nous.. 1844
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by the renowned French caricaturist Honore Daumier, showcasing a woman's indignation towards yet another satirical depiction of herself and her colleague in the popular French satirical newspaper, Le Charivari. The title translates to "Comment! Yet another caricature about us this morning in the Charivari!" The woman, with a look of exasperation and determination, expresses her hope that this will be the last time they are subjected to such public ridicule. She threatens the artist, Daumier, with retribution if she ever encounters him, promising that it will come at a high cost for daring to portray them as "Bas-bleus." The term "Bas-bleus" was a derogatory label used in 19th-century France to denigrate women with intellectual pursuits beyond the traditional domestic sphere. These women were often depicted as mannish and unattractive, implying that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. In this print, Daumier satirically portrays the women as knitting blue stockings, further emphasizing their supposed unfeminine traits. This print, part of the "Les Bas-bleus" series, is a testament to the societal expectations and prejudices of the time towards women with intellectual ambitions. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by women in the pursuit of knowledge and creativity, and the role of satire in shaping public opinion. Despite the criticism, the women in the print remain defiant, demonstrating their resilience and determination to continue their intellectual pursuits.
