EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "To the Male Citizen / If This Is Womanly - Why Not This?" is a powerful cartoon by Mary Ellen Sigsbee, created around 1910. It serves as a visual representation of the women's rights movement in America during that time. The cartoon aims to support and advocate for women's right to engage in civil professions and occupations, particularly in supervisory roles. In the image, we see a determined female worker dressed in professional attire, holding a broom and mop while standing confidently next to her male counterparts. The message conveyed is clear: if men can perform traditionally feminine tasks such as cleaning, then why should women be denied access to traditionally male-dominated fields? This thought-provoking artwork challenges societal norms and highlights the importance of gender equality in the workplace. By depicting a woman engaged in labor typically associated with lower social status or femininity, Sigsbee questions the prevailing stereotypes about women's capabilities. The cartoon captures an important moment in history when feminism was gaining momentum and political acts were being undertaken to secure equal opportunities for women. It symbolizes both progress made and work yet to be done towards achieving gender parity. Mary Ellen Sigsbee's impactful illustration continues to inspire conversations about gender roles, feminism, and equal rights today.
