The telephone, typewriter, washing machine, and electric iron have been central to the definition of "women's work" in 20th century America. Cultural ideas about the duties and ambitions of women are reflected and reinforced by the ways appliances have been designed, marketed, used, and imagined. During the 20th century, the marketing of domestic appliances and office machines has been directed primarily toward women. Mechanical Brides examines this phenomenon through extensive graphics (advertisements, catalog pages, photographs) and analytical text. Please see photos for more details. Any questions please ask.
