'The Last Fast Thing', 1866. Artist: George du Maurier
'The Last Fast Thing', 1866 Women who attempted to enter the public sphere of men were often labelled 'fast'. Here, Punch takes a dig at such women, showing an entirely female fire crew. One of the ladies has evidently been called away from a formal evening function to attend to her duty, 'Lady O'Brian, of Boyce-Gilbert, to the Rescue!!!' From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 12, 1866.
