EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the First World War that reflects the progress of feminism. Created by Henry Gerbault for the cover of Le Rire Rouge on July 21,1917, this cartoon depicts a cafe terrace where a client is taken aback by the presence of a female coffee boy. In an era when gender roles were strictly defined, it was unusual to see women taking up traditionally male occupations. Gerbault's drawing serves as a powerful commentary on the changing dynamics brought about by war and societal shifts. The woman working as a coffee server challenges traditional norms and highlights the growing emancipation of women during this time. It symbolizes their increasing participation in various fields previously dominated by men. The bistro setting adds an element of familiarity to this scene, reminding viewers that even amidst conflict, everyday life continues with its own set of changes and advancements. Through his caricature-like style, Gerbault effectively conveys both humor and social critique. This print offers us a glimpse into French society during one of its most tumultuous periods. It reminds us that even in times of war, progress can be made towards equality and empowerment for all genders.
