EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1889 captures the essence of a changing society, where university education for women was still a novelty. In this George du Maurier cartoon from Punch London, we witness an amusing scene that highlights the challenges faced by educated women in conversing with their less educated friends. The engraving portrays a group of women engaged in conversation, while their less educated companions struggle to keep up. The expressions on their faces range from confusion to bewilderment as they try to grasp the complex topics being discussed. This comical depiction sheds light on the stark contrast between those who have had access to higher education and those who haven't. During this era, feminism and women's rights movements were gaining momentum, challenging traditional gender roles and advocating for equal opportunities in education. This cartoon serves as both social commentary and satire, illustrating how university-educated women were breaking societal norms but inadvertently creating communication barriers with their less privileged friends. As we reflect upon this historical image today, it reminds us of the progress made towards gender equality in education over time. It also prompts us to appreciate the importance of inclusive conversations that bridge gaps between individuals with different educational backgrounds.
