Interesting observations that might have been more convincing had the author narrowed the focus on a specific country, then one could trace the evolution of home within that culture. Also many of the statements are debatable. For example, the typical housewife from the 1940's with the latest in appliances is said to spend more time on housework than her grandmother did at the turn of the century. I would have thought that there was more leisure time in the 1940's for the typical housewife.
