EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and satirical print from 1909 captures a scene of a Yorkshire wife wielding her rolling pin as a symbol of power and authority. The caption suggests that the woman believes she doesn't need Votes For Women to assert herself, as her trusty rolling pin is all she needs to get what she wants.
The image reflects the historical context of women's rights and suffragettes fighting for equality during this time period. The woman's broad Yorkshire accent adds charm to the scene, emphasizing her determination and strength in asserting her dominance over her husband.
In a playful twist on gender roles, the image shows the wife confidently sitting with her rolling pin in hand, ready to use it if necessary. This comical portrayal challenges traditional notions of power dynamics within marriage, highlighting the absurdity of using kitchen utensils as tools for control.
Overall, this print serves as a lighthearted commentary on gender relations and social norms in early 20th century England. It reminds us that sometimes humor can be used to shed light on serious issues such as women's rights and empowerment.
