Adieu, ma ch?re Flora...ne manquez pas.., 1844. Adieu, ma ch?re Flora, ne manquez pas d'adresser au bureau du journal deux exemplaires de vos bulles de savon et je ferai mousser cela dans mon feuilleton. (Farewell, my dear Flora, don't forget to send two copies of your soap bubbles to the newspaper office and I will lather this up in my serial). Satirical criticism of 'bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare. Female authors were often depicted as mannish and ugly - the implication being that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. Series: Les Bas-bleus, no. 21; Periodical: Le Charivari, 6 April 1844.
