"Good Housekeeping" Home Sweet Home by Brian Braithwaite
Drawing on some of the articles and advertisements which appeared in "Good Housekeeping" magazine between 1922 and 1939, this book paints a picture of home life and the work involved in maintaining a household at that time. It charts the revolution which took place in the Twenties as young women, deprived of the servants their mother had enjoyed, rebelled against monotonous household chores and demanded new labour-saving gadgets. Many of the articles were written by leading writers, such as Vera Brittain, Rebecca West and Evelyn Waugh. The advertisements tell just as fascinating a tale as the editorial pages, with brave new inventions such as the Hoover vacuum cleaner or Radiation gas fire.| SKU | Unavailable |
