Many of the aids which are advertid as liberating the modem woman tend to have the opposite effect, becau they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is 1 less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really 2 too much: the machine has to

olens). Automatic cookers are advertid by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by 10 women pretting the dinner before catching a bus to the office.
