EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful feminist cartoon that boldly denounces the Napoleon Code with humor. Created by the Ligue d Action Femme for immediate suffrage, this imagery from July 1927 showcases the unwavering spirit of French feminists fighting for their rights. The civil code of 1804, established during Napoleon's reign, is criticized in this artwork as it limited women's freedoms and perpetuated gender inequality. The caricature depicted in this print cleverly combines elements of voting rights, politics, and feminism to convey its message. With a touch of satire and wit, it highlights the absurdity of denying women equal participation in society. This piece serves as a testament to the enduring struggle for female emancipation throughout history. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, an expert at capturing thought-provoking images like these, this print transports us back to a pivotal moment in France's fight for gender equality. It reminds us that freedom of expression has always been essential in challenging oppressive systems and advocating for change. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a collection celebrating feminist art movements, this remarkable print serves as both an artistic statement and historical documentation. It invites viewers to reflect on the progress made towards achieving gender parity while acknowledging that there is still work to be done.
