EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph from the mid-1930s offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a housewife and her helper during that era. The "Plan of work for housewife and one helper" provides a structured guide to managing household tasks efficiently, reflecting the societal expectations placed on women at the time.
Intricately illustrated with various chores and responsibilities, this print showcases the meticulous planning required to maintain a well-kept home in the 1930s. From cleaning and cooking to childcare and laundry, every aspect of domestic life is carefully outlined in this comprehensive guide.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when traditional gender roles dictated how households were run. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by women in balancing their duties as homemakers while often juggling other responsibilities outside the home.
Despite its historical context, this artwork also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of women who navigated these expectations with grace and determination. It invites viewers to reflect on how far we have come in terms of gender equality while appreciating the valuable contributions made by generations of housewives throughout history.
