"...dussent-ils me maudire...", 1844. "...dussent-ils me maudire..." "Ces barbares parens qui m'ont donné le jour" "Ô Victor, ô mon âme, a toi tout mon amour!" -Bravo...bravo...bravo...qu'une mère est heurese d'avoir une petite·fille pareille!'. Young girl, (possibly wearing bloomers) standing on a stool and reciting a love poem to four delighted women: "...Even if they curse me, those barbaric parents who gave birth to me....O Victor, O my soul, all my love is yours!" 'Bravo...bravo...bravo...how happy a mother is to have such a daughter!'. Satirical criticism of 'bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare. From Les bas-bleus, no. 36.
