Women Seek Simple Life Over Public Progress
A Ladies Home Journal essay argues nineteenth century progress harmed women by pulling them from home roles of wife and mother toward art reform and money making. The piece warns of nervous restlessness and urges return to simple repose and home life as the true path for many women. A separate note recounts a fashionable dressmaker’s suicide over $15,000 in unpaid accounts, stressed by nonpaying customers.
