A. Berteget, a French photographer and artist at the turn of the 20th century, presents us this photo series entitled Women Of The Future. At times, the images almost seem like pin-ups, but the pride and the posture of the women tells a different story:

Women Of The Future- New Army Recruit

Women Of The Future - Guard

Women Of The Future: Gendarme

Women Of The Future: Little Drummer

Women Of The Future- Lieutenant.

Women Of The Future- Art Student.

Women Of The Future- Jockey.

Women Of The Future- Coachwoman.

Women Of The Future- Journalist.

Women Of The Future- Mayor.

Women Of The Future- Deputy / Minister Of Parliament.

Women Of The Future- Doctor.

Funny, though – if you imagined a woman would be permitted to be a doctor in the year 2000, why wouldn’t you just make it legal for her do so in 1902?
