Saving Labor Through Individual Tools and Socialization
Martha Beasley Bruer argues in the Vacsar Quarterly that progress against domestic drudgery requires training in social cooperation, not just more labor saving devices. She recalls early calls for community laundries and cooked food shops, noting those ventures failed then but may succeed later. In the meantime, individual labor savers like gas ranges and electric washing machines lessen toil and free mothers to engage with neighbors, enabling eventual cooperative efforts.

Evolution as a weapon for prohibition says Kammerer
Dr Paul Kammerer of the University of Vienna argues that evolution via inheritance of acquired characteristics could aid prohibition in the United States. He asserts future generations may be born without desire for liquor if laws are strictly enforced, noting diuretic habits are easier to alter than other habits. The reasoning emphasizes education, repeated abstinence, and the potential long term impact on alcohol consumption.
