In the future, could there be a woman doctor!? A Frenchwoman doctor!? Couldn't be!

Says Dangerous Minds: "French artist Albert Bergeret’s collection of trading cards from 1902 titled “Women of the Future” tries to imagines women’s jobs and professions of the modern era."

Woman lawyer? Now they're angling for power.

Even a woman assemblyman. Assemblyperson.

French Woman Doctor? Of course, I've seen them on the internet. They wear a hell of a lot less than the 1902 predictions though. :bolt:

Stripped of all humanity




Personally I prefer the french version. They seemed much better equipped to serve and provide for their patriarchal overlords.
