Posted in 1902 and published right around 1900, this card may have been one in a series of three, given the French motto, Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, or Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood. The motto originated, or so we have read, during the French revolution, but was made official and incorporated into the French constitution in 1958. This image obviously has more of a "Sisterhood" feel to it, and interestingly enough, political activists in France will make a play on words, altering the motto to better fit their cause, so that in the case of women rallying for greater equality in a male dominated workplace, the motto will become, "Liberté, égalité, sororité!"
