In 1900, a newspaper column entitled “Then and Now: Woman’s Development and Achievements” discussed how far women had come since 1850 in terms of equality and representation. The modern woman in 1900, had left the “vast amounts of household drudgery” that took up her time in 1850 and was now in almost every role in the workplace.
The column also forecast what women might be up to in 1950 and how she would look.
