EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming color lithograph from the 1930s provides a glimpse into the daily routine of a housewife and her helper. The detailed "Plan of work for housewife and one helper" offers a structured schedule for managing household tasks, reflecting the societal expectations placed on women during this time period.
The image, originally published in The Housewife's Book by the Daily Express, showcases the division of labor between the housewife and her assistant. From cleaning and cooking to laundry and childcare, each aspect of domestic life is carefully outlined to ensure efficiency and productivity.
In an era when traditional gender roles were strictly defined, this illustration serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on the responsibilities expected of women in maintaining a well-kept home. Despite its vintage charm, it also prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of gender equality and work-life balance.
As we admire this piece from the early 20th century English School collection, let us appreciate the dedication and hard work that went into running a household during a time when homemaking was considered an essential duty for women.
