EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Different Social Positions of Women, late 19th century" offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse roles and positions held by women during this era. The colour engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases a range of occupations and social classes that women occupied. From left to right, we see various depictions including a female teacher instructing young schoolgirls, a maidservant diligently working on her tasks, and a factory hand engaged in laborious work. Each woman is dressed according to her respective role; some wear Victorian costumes while others don peasant attire. The image also highlights the societal hierarchy prevalent at the time. A sister of charity stands tall on a ladder symbolizing her elevated position within society as she tends to those in need. Meanwhile, women engaged in manual labor such as haymaking or weaving looms are depicted lower down on stairs representing their lower social standing. This print not only provides insight into the different professions available to women during this period but also serves as a reminder of their resilience and determination despite facing numerous challenges. It is an important historical document that sheds light on how far we have come in terms of gender equality and serves as inspiration for future generations striving for equal opportunities for all.
