io9, that groovy scifi mag, has a series of French postcards of “women of the future” which were created in 1902. They’re kind of adorable since the women – even in masculine military costumes – seem to be wearing corsets.
That said, they did get rid of the term “mademoiselle” in time for this year’s women’s day, and of course they did also give us Joan of Arc and Simone de Beauvoir.
