Comment! encore une caricature sur , 1844. 'Comment! encore une caricature sur nous, ce matin, dans le Charivari!...ah! jour de ma vie! J'espère bien que cette fois c'est la dernière!...et si jamais ce Daumier me tombe sous la main, il lui en coutera cher pour s'être permis de tricoter des Bas bleus.'. Woman to colleague: 'What! Yet another caricature about us this morning in the Charivari!...ah! my goodness!

I really hope that this time is the last!...and if I ever get my hands on this Daumier, it will cost him dearly for having dared to knit [ie needle] Blue Stockings'. Satirical criticism of 'bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare. Female authors were often depicted as mannish and ugly - the implication being that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. Series: Les Bas-bleus, no. 39; Periodical: Le Charivari, 3 August 1844.
