EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1917 titled "Food Values in our Restaurants" we are transported back to a time when the impact of university education for women on everyday life was still a novelty. The image depicts a waitress, formerly of Girton College, Cambridge, surprising a diner with her knowledge and expertise on nutrition. As the man peruses the menu, he is taken aback by the unexpected advice offered by this educated woman. The cartoon, originally published in Punch magazine, cleverly captures the changing dynamics of society during that era. It highlights not only the growing presence of women in traditionally male-dominated professions but also their ability to contribute valuable insights beyond societal expectations. The attire worn by both individuals reflects the fashion trends of early 20th-century Britain. The waitress dons an apron over her stylish dress while maintaining professionalism and confidence as she imparts nutritional wisdom to her customer. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and women's rights. It symbolizes progress and challenges prevailing stereotypes about female capabilities within various fields. As we admire this monochrome engraving captured by an unknown creator, let us appreciate the strides made towards empowering women through education and acknowledge those who paved the way for future generations.
