What were the typical activities/hobbies/interests of women in the 1910s?
I have to make a women’s magazine that is pertinent for the years 1914-1920 for a history project, and I’m trying to figure out what kind of material to put in it. Basically, I haven’t been able to find the hobbies of women in the 1910s. If you have any ideas, that would be great!
needle point (sewing in general)
singing, you can put sheet music in there, like an advertisement, to go out and buy a whole copy.
newest fashion trends… talk about boston or new york society and what women were wearing.
practal advices, like old Dr. remidies…
something about life on the frontier… because the lousiana purchase was in 1803… but people were still migrating in the 1900s
Find a catalog from that time, like from Montgomery Ward or Pennys or something. TONS of ideas there for everyday products for the women of that period.
When speaking of the 1910s, fighting for women’s rights seems to be the only thing that comes to mind. Perhaps women at that time were into reading and getting involved with movements to push their rights.
If boys will always be boys, I guess girls will also always be girls. Women in the 1910s must be bustling with the radical changes in the fashion industry. So, they must be into the latest trends.å
