Ladies Of The Future

A series of 20 French postcards printed in 1902 depicts women in such implausible professions as soldiers, doctors and lawyers (and pirates too!). One could criticise the sexy <insert anything ever> Halloween costume vibe some of the cards have as slightly anti-feminist (they were printed in 1902, so maybe we could just go with “pre-feminist”…), but most of them seem to capture the same aspirations to greatness every little girl puts into her favorite astronaut/president/veterinarian/ballerina/unicorn barbie.
