Caption: "Is Florrie's engagement really off, then?" "Oh, yes. Jack wanted her to give up gambling and smoking, and goodness knows what else." (Chorus.) "How absurd!!"

While this Punch cartoon was published after the Victorian era, it illustrates that the concept of the New Woman, as well as criticism for it, did not end with the period. The cartoon pictures New Women once again assuming the behaviors and habits of men; they smoke and gamble, and do so independently. The title, "Primum vivere, deinde philosophari," translates to "First one must live, then one may philosophize." This once again suggests the belief that while New Women may try to stray away from female behavior and present themselves as superior, they do not have experience in society and, therefore, do not understand their role in it.
