Seventeen, fifties style
I have a confession to make - there's something that fascinates me about the era when women stayed at home and were not expected to work. I always wonder how that dynamic worked in their marriages and how they felt in themselves.... anyway.. enough about me. Check out this Seventeen cover from 1957 that I found on weheart-it. How I would love to have a flick through one of these!

ReplyDeleteAh I think about that all time. Especially watching Mad Men. It totally doesn't feel like it was an equal partnership. Love the clothes of the 50s,but happy to be a wife now!
