EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "French Blue Stocking" or "Bas Bleu," dates back to 1850 and offers a glimpse into the world of French femininity during a time of burgeoning social change. The subject of the photograph, dressed in the height of fashion for the era, dons a blue velvet gown and matching stockings, symbolizing her membership in the intellectual and literary circle known as the "Blue Stockings." Blue Stockings, or Bas Bleus, were French women who embraced the ideals of the Enlightenment and sought education and intellectual pursuits, defying societal norms that relegated women to the domestic sphere. This photograph captures the essence of their rebellious spirit, as the woman gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and determined expression. The blue stockings themselves were a symbol of their intellectual pursuits, as they were often worn during long hours of study and writing. The color blue was also associated with the intellectual and artistic communities, further emphasizing the Blue Stockings' commitment to learning and creativity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of women in the 19th century who dared to challenge societal expectations and strive for equality and intellectual freedom. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of women's rights and the importance of education and intellectual pursuits, which continue to be central issues in the ongoing fight for gender equality today.
