Who wears the Trousers? (With you...) - A Turn-of-the-Century Exploration of Roles and Power in Marriage
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Who wears the Trousers? (With you...)" and dated 1902, offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex dynamics of gender roles and power within marriage during the early 20th century. The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, captures a couple in a traditional setting, with the husband in a jacket and thumbing through a newspaper while his wife, dressed in an apron and slippers, holds a mop and bucket. The husband, with a pipe in hand and a smug expression on his face, seems to assert his dominant position in the relationship, while the wife, with a downtrodden look, appears to be resigned to her submissive role. The husband's trousers, a symbol of masculinity and power, contrast sharply with the wife's feminine attire and domestic chores. However, the photograph also hints at a sense of playfulness and irony. The title, "Who wears the Trousers?" suggests that the power dynamic in the marriage may not be as straightforward as it seems. The husband's jacket and the wife's apron are both hanging on the back of a chair, suggesting that they may have exchanged roles at some point. The presence of a crop and a pail in the background further adds to the ambiguity, as they could be associated with either the husband or the wife. This photograph offers a thought-provoking commentary on the traditional gender roles and power dynamics that shaped marriage and family life during the early 20th century. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come in challenging and redefining these roles and to consider the ways in which power and dominance continue to be negotiated in contemporary relationships.
