Because not all women throughout time have had access to Buzzfeed, cartoonist Gemma Correll has helpfully illustrates the demands that past societies have imposed upon women.
Coincidentally, as I wrote this post, my 12-year old daughter passed by and asked me to define a variety of terms on it, including hysteria, lobotomies, and aspic. It was a difficult conversation, but I'm glad that Correll gave me the opportunity to talk about the dangers of jello salads. That era, thankfully, has passed from our time.
