MODERN AMERICAN WOMAN CHAMPIONED AT UNIVERSITY
That the idea that Colonial housewives were marvels of industry is a myth is theopinion expressed by Miss Caroline E. MacGILL, instructor in political economy atthe University of Wisconsin, writing in the current number of the Independent.

A modern housewife, says Miss MacGILL, works harder and accomplishes more than anyColonial dame. The belief that our ancestoresses were such prodigies, the authorgoes on to state, is because modern writers take it for granted that a single womandid all the work of the house, as the modern housewife does, while in reality three,four and often more women united in doing the work of a Colonial household.

“The actual truth,” writes Miss MacGILL, “is that, save in a few instances, thesemarvelous feats were not performed by a one-woman-power household.”

“In the country the superfluous daughters of grown families hired out as help totheir neighbors. And many families, both country and city, took bound children,bringing them up for the return that their labor would give. In an agriculturalcommunity and in the work of the house, these children were of great assistance.”

Unmarried sisters, aunts, nieces, etc., Miss MacGILL also points out, were then notself-supporting and able to go out and make their own way in the business world asstenographers, teachers, nurses and bookkeepers. Instead they were dependent uponthe bounty of some relative with whom they lived and whose household they helpedto direct in return for their maintenances. All this additional assistance did muchto lighten the labors of the Colonial housewife.
