EDITORS COMMENTS
April 1937: A Defiant Feminine Icon - Britannia's Disdainful Gaze from the Cover of Eve Magazine The front cover illustration of the April 1937 issue of Eve magazine presents a striking and defiant image of a feminine icon, challenging the gender norms of the 1930s. The illustration, titled "Britannia," features a woman wearing a shirt and tie, donning a hat adorned with a feather, and glaring disdainfully over her shoulder. Her crop of curly hair is visible beneath the hat, and she clutches riding gloves in one hand and a riding crop in the other. The masculine attire and confident posture of the woman on the cover were a bold statement for the time, as women's fashion in the 1930s typically emphasized femininity and modesty. The image of Britannia, with her strong jawline and determined expression, challenges the traditional gender roles and expectations of the era. The horse in the background adds to the sense of power and dominance, as Britannia appears to be in control of her surroundings. The use of the British symbol of Britannia, a figure representing the strength and power of the British Empire, further emphasizes the woman's authority and independence. The April 1937 issue of Eve magazine was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the changing role of women in society during the 1930s. The cover illustration of Britannia, with her masculine attire and defiant gaze, symbolized the growing confidence and assertiveness of women during this period. The image remains a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit of femininity and the ongoing struggle for gender equality.
