Which is the Rooster, and which is the Hen.

“I don’t like this young man coming here so often!”

“Hush, Pa! - It’s not a man!” 

Unknown | “I don’t know what they’re coming to these days. Masculine Independent young ‘ussies, I calls ‘em. You and me was always the fluffy clingin’ sort.”

Unknown | Miss Mannish

Male airs and garments cannot hide
Her lack of womanly grace
They but more conspicuous make
The extreme plainness of her face
She’s but a caricature of man
And as a woman a sorry specimen

Unknown | Miss Mannish

Do you suppose that mannish clothes
And Turkish cigarette
Make you a prize in young men’s eyes?
No, no, not soon, nor yet.
Leave all such joys to college boys.
Get girlish, or too late
You’ll find that men, choose girl girls when
They’re looking for a mate.

Jeanne Mammen was one of the most talented artists and illustrators to emerge from Germany’s Weimar epoch (1919-1933), the period following World War I that culminated in the rise to power of the Nazis.

At a time when the predominant style was a frequently harsh and unflattering realism, Mammen dedicated her art to the gently satirical, sometimes sympathetic, representation of Berlin’s diverse constituencies, particularly the newly visible lesbian.
