'American woman's most celebrated job was that of consumer-in-chief. "Today's woman gets what she wants" enthused an advertisement in the Chicago Tribune. "The vote. Slim sheaths of silk to replace voluminous petticoats. Glassware in sapphire blue or glowing amber. The right to a career. Soap to match her bathroom's color scheme." The ad industry begged for her attention: the department store spoiled her with extra services. Women didn't have to carry packages - all their purchases were sent to a central desk, wrapped together, and turned over to the free and frequent delivery services.

<span>By 1927, nearly two-thirds of american homes had electricity, and women were using it to power vacuum cleaners, ranges, refrigerators, toasters, and irons. The washing machine was still a work in progress, but many women sent their clothes to laundries, where business was at an all-time peak.'</span>
