Caption: While Mesdames Wilkins and Perkins are discussing grave School-Board matters and Parliamentary business, their respective husbands are engaged on a topic more genial to their softer natures and weaker intellects. "Isn't she a darling pet, Fred! And just fancy - two front teeth, and only four months last Tuesday week!" "Well, I never!! Why, my darling ickle Totty hasn't cut a single tooth, and he's six months to-morrow! How do you feed her, Tom?"

This Punch cartoon features two women conversing about traditionally "male" topics, while their husbands perform domestic duties in the background commonly associated with women in the Victorian era. The New Women in this cartoon take on masculine traits while still presenting as female, and the caption suggests mockery of the idea that the New Woman believes men have "weaker intellects."
