# Judge Magazine, November 8, 1913 The page features an image labeled "An Italian Signal-Woman" showing a woman in traditional Italian dress employed by Italian railways. According to the caption, Italian railroad rules required these women to perform signaling duties alongside their household tasks. The image appears designed to illustrate a humorous or satirical point about gender roles and labor practices in early 20th-century Italy—specifically the unusual combination of domestic expectations and industrial work. The satire likely targets either Italian labor practices or broader contemporary attitudes about women's roles in the workplace.
