I found it interesting that the author, Christine Kleinegger, went back and forth about women and if they share the economic responsibility. The Banker-Farmer Journal urged women to buy these time saving technologies and either have their own savings or checking account, or to accompany your husband when he makes these decisions. They pushed this as to gain their business. The Farmer’s Wife, the popular woman’s magazine, also pushed for these women to buy these devices as well, but they did not think that the wife was as included in the finance part of the household (less than equal partners,p185). I wonder what the reality of this is and did they have any say at all? -- Pam Petzold | I found it interesting that the author, Christine Kleinegger, went back and forth about women and if they share the economic responsibility.

| + | To add to the points that have already been made, this article is another example of how far society has come. Reflecting back on our midterm asking whether or not this class speaks about how badly women were treated. This just goes to show how far we have come and how far society has come as a whole. Women were used to cleaning, cooking, and taking care of young children. Today, women are some of the richest people in the world. -Jeff | ||
