In researching my husband's family's genealogy I was distressed at how many woman, both upper and lower class, were forgotten. Two years ago when I came upon Historical Sewing I saw most of the KZbinrs replicating the more regal and costly gowns. Then I remembered the women in our family trees who were forgotten. My first project was the complete ensemble of a lower class, everyday woman, complete hand sewn. In making this project I seemed to connect with our ancestors. My ancestors, while I might not know their names, are not forgotten now. This was an experience I didn't anticipate in sewing historical garments. But I'm so happy I did.

My grandpa was never a picky eater. “Eat what you take, and take what you eat”, he would say at every meal. True to someone who grew up in the great depression. But something speaks even deeper about how the great depression scarred him. He will eat rotten fruit, he will drink sour milk, but he will never touch a mushroom. Because as a child, that’s what he ate day-in and day-out, because that was the only food they were able to find growing along the fence and side of the house. And he has never eaten a mushroom since his childhood, because it reminds him of the poverty. I dont know of any stories of my grandma like that, but i know they must’ve both been poor together, as they didnt even have working plumbing in their home until my mom was 10, so about 1970. My grandparents grew up in canada. Widespread poverty and difficult times were not so far ago.

As someone who recently did costume design for a show set in the 20s, thank you so much for doing this. Whenever I mentioned costumed for the 20s people assumed bobs, flappers, and too many rhinestones. In our show that wasn't the case. The women in our show were factory workers, strikers, the poor who couldn't even afford a bathtub in their house. Costumes were made up of single sheet, hardly fitted dresses. Hair pulled up in buns or cut too short to keep it out of the machinery in factories. Mussed up sweaters that didn't quite fit right. Nobody looked glamourous. Nobody looked like they came out of the Great Gatsby. Society likes to forget real people when they look back at fashion through the ages. Its incredible to see someone actually doing so.

I like that newer period pieces show lots of parts of society. Even in something like Downton Abbey there's as many scenes "upstairs" and "downstairs," and you don't so much wish you could live in this romantic great house as you do realize just how imbalanced it was, and how World War I and labour movements particularly shocked people out of that. Yes, the nobility get new dresses every other episode and it's cool to watch the subtle style changes until you're suddenly in full dropwaist flapper gowns and black tie (instead of white), but the servants are wearing the same Sunday best to church for years, and they're the richer of the working class. The contrast makes every character more real because they all existed at the same time, like the impoverished and wealthy (or even middle class and billionaires) still do today.

This reminds me of an alternative interpretation of the phrase "well behaved women rarely make history" The interpretation being that, there are plenty of women throughout history you'll never hear about because they were "well behaved" and didn't really shake things up that much. But, that doesn't make them less important; their contributions shaped the world just as much as anyone else's and they deserve recognition too, even if we may not know them by name. And that, consequentially, you shouldn't feel bad about living a modest life. The modest contributions are just as important as those that make headlines, and we should celebrate them too.

The Jenna Pearl My great grandparents had a lot of slides from the 50s (and sometimes earlier!) so I was fortunate enough to get a tiny glimpse into the fashion of that era. My family in that generation was pretty poor - mainly first-generation Italian immigrants. Although I saw some pictures of the women wearing dresses (much simpler than the 50s pinup stuff you see), nearly everyone wore pants and some sort of blouse tucked into their pants. I think it might be because they always had to work (housework, gardening, or otherwise) and dresses were impractical for that sort of thing. When they did wear dresses, they looked like they were homemade, but I can't be sure. I know they recycled EVERY piece of clothing (eventually making quilt squares one the fabric was no good for anything else). They also all had very short hair - shoulder length hair was the longest I saw any of them have, and it was usually much shorter than that. It might have been different for wealthier families, or even other poor families, but this is what I have seen from the old family slides.

The guy that got her pregnant abandoned them all before she gave birth. None of them were old enough to know what to do to save their mothers life. In the 40s she married a transient alcoholic welder who gave her ten kids and refused to hold down a job anywhere long enough to raise them. Many points in their life they starved, lived in abandoned homes, moved every three months for years.

My grandmother's sister was a military medical instructor-she was engaged in the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield and providing them with first aid, as well as accompanying the wounded to the field hospital. Compared to this occupation, hell is a cozy and quiet place, like a sanatorium-resort. Imagine how a fragile girl myself pulling healthy man, whose explosion tore off the hand and which is unconscious. And on it recklessly shoots a couple of German men, these Europeans, from a machine gun... Europeans are now wondering why Russians remember that war and how it will not be forgotten. Everything is simple. It took fourteen people in my family to fight that war. He returned from the war five. three soon died from wounds and acquired diseases, having lived eight-ten years. Only two survived to a relatively advanced age...

For a woman to stay home and only take care of the house was a luxury and even then she didn't do it without servants.

Romanticizing time periods can be harmful because it can lead people to have foolish misconceptions and a certain attitude about their own time and consequently adopt weird and shallow conservative ideologies as an attempt to get that romanticized time period (that only exist in their minds) back. But I guess that already happened.

@@silverco2560 I want to say that it led to people misusing the word conservatism (which is about leaving it as it is, maintaining the status quo) with reactionary views. Reactionism is a movement to "bring things back as they were before", i.e. Make America Great Again is NOT a conservative viewpoint, but a reactionary one trying to return to "good ole' days".

@clevernamerighthere92404 жыл бұрын
Maybe romanticizing was the wrong term for me to use, I just think it’s ok to remember, reminisce and play with the best parts of a time as a writer as long as the reality of the time is still known. Like i think ninjas wearing all black clothes, jumping on roof tops, and all of them having awesome swords is really cool and can make for really cool games,shows, and movies...but that’s not how it happened at all and that’s ok. Because I’m not an infant, I can differentiate fiction from history. Also I’m not saying you can’t make awesome stories using reality but it’s the writers choice to try or not.

I can't blame the Suffragettes for doing what they did, and I know that the Suffragists were working from their own position of privilege, but few seem to remember that the Suffragettes' noble, powerful strategies *didn't work.* That's not what got women the vote... some believe that their actions even delayed the cause. Of course, in the end, it was all a bit moot. Perhaps the Suffragettes kept the idea in the headlines and perhaps the Suffragists kept the men in charge aware of the issue, but it was really the work of women in war, 'ettes and 'ists alike, that got women the vote. After that it was the long slow process of British bureaucracy, pushed by those same women who worked hard through the wars. I don't know how it worked elsewhere.

"one out of nine women working in domestic service refers to Russia." I really appreciate that you mentioned Russian women, it's always nice to see someone from the west who doesn't strike our people out of a conversation about the history because of some political situation or something else. Also, I wanted to speak about another working class which was prevalent in Russia (USSR), which was originated a little earlier than 1920 and which was existed till 1992, but of course, the first part of the century was the hardest for the people. Maybe you already know about it, but still, I feel the need to talk because my grandmother(and grandfather but because of the context I want to speak about her) was one of them. So I am speaking about kolkhoz - collective farms, where people were doing agricultural work to give the most of the products of their work to the government and the country. During the war and after it the situation in the country was bad and in kolkhozes was hardly bearable. Villages had to function without adult men, so all the provision was made mostly by children and women. Guess this is the typical war scenario, but this didn't make things easier. My grandmother was a child during these times, so she had to work hard from a very young age like she was younger than 10 when she started to work in a field with adults. They had some schools, but a little percentage of the kids managed to end even 9 grades. Also, my grandmother's road to school was 5 kilometers long which is not that big but she was a child and she walked there alone even during the winter, and I think everybody can imagine how Russian winter looks like. And this was a road through (or near the forest) so she saw wolfes really close to her once during this walk. She left her home and moved to Kirov (a small city) to get a teacher's education because she was tired of the pain in her back and feared for her health. After it, she returned to her village, but as a math teacher, so her work was easier. And finally, at the age of 28, she left kolkhoz forever and moved to Saint Petersburg to my grandfather who was learning engineering in a military college in this city(they were from the same village but he left first so they had some long-distance relationships for a few years which was sweet:3) So they lived there, then my grandfather was sent to Baikonur (the city in Kazakhstan which has the biggest and most progressive cosmodrome nearby), so she went to this city with him. But during this time all this cosmos thing was hardly started and they live in a small house without any facilities. And also this place looked like a desert and had some desert insects, so once she was nearly bitten by a Solifugae( I didn't find it in English so it's a Latin name). And she avoided it only because of her quick reaction. It crawled in her dress, and she felt it and took it off, and threw it to the floor. My grandpa was sent there because he was meant to engineer a plumping system for the cosmodrome. And she found a job in a counting department(they basically did the math to find a perfect trajectory for rackets, perfect weight and etc.). So she saw the Gagarin flight with her own eyes even helped the cosmodrome to organize it. After it, she also lived in Ukraine, then moved to Russia again (to Voronej), and finally, her grown-up children helped her to move to Moscow. So that's where my family lives now. And after all this traveling she used to tell me that "you're are only needed where you were born". It rhymes in Russian(gde rodielsia - tam ie prigodielsia). That's so funny - she was the biggest traveler I knew herself XD She passed away a few years ago, and she had terrible back problems most of her life. And my grandpa is still with us. Right now were are out of Moscow with him and other family members in our country house. Well looks like it is mostly about my grandma, not about the kolkhozes. But I don't even think that someone will read it so I will let it be. But your video inspired me so I felt like I need to write it. Sorry for my language I'm not fluent.

There was actually a plane crash, where I'm from, in the 60s, plane exploded and everyone in that plane was ripped into pieces, my father was one of the young men/BOYS (he was ~18) that voluntered to recover what was left of the dead bodys. When this incidence was reported in the local newspaper they only praised the firefighters for putting out the fire. Shit like that just makes me so mad.

When people say they’re born in the wrong generation bc they romanticize the past. I always remind them about minority discrimination against black men and women. How poor conditions where, and what women went through. It’s terrible and I’m proud to be born in this era. (Of course there is still discrimination against minority’s)

J M I love 1940s fashion, music, manners, etc but I am very well aware of what they had to go through. Each generation will have their fair share of good and bad things and its up to you on how you wanna view that generation as a whole. I just try not to see 1940s as war and discrimination because there was much more than that :/

And who says that just because you were born in the 80s 90s or 2000s you can't dress like you were born in earlier eras? :) I feel like that's what most of those people mean, that they like the fashions of bygone eras. You don't have to live then to enjoy the fashion and style of the time. See "Why Are You Dressed Like That?" by Bernadette Banner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXPHn6Z4abeHmbc

EJ The Savage yes sure in the 40s there was more other things other than war and discrimination, yet it’d be hard to ignore and surpass if you lived then. And trying to ignore the fact it happened is ignorant. It drops in with romanticizing.

It also depends on where you live tho. And you know, these days, so many ladies follow makeup and plastic surgery trends that somehow make it harder to spot or appreciate their 'timeless' charms (if they do have them).

Karolina, I know this is a comment years late, but I just watched this video. Your portrayals made me think of scraps of info I've gleaned about real women over the years. For instance, my good friend's mother, Candy, was raised during the depression, and very likely she and her mother resembled your look all too much. They had been a well-to-do family before the stock market crashed so, Candy's mom didn't know how to get along on very little money to start with. Somewhere along the line the 'man of the family' left as so many did. Candy and her mama ended up in a tent city in the south. Having had much household help, they had no skills to sew, clean, cook and otherwise make the best of their lot. But they survived. Another memory you evoked is about the state of the children of the working mothers you portray. Many of them were left with extremely inadequate care. I'll never forget the cold chills I got the first time I read in one of Grace Livingstone Hill's early books a description of the heroine's horror at seeing the crowds of tiny, unattended, barely dressed children that flocked in the streets and near the railroad tracks of a large city, playing, fighting, begging for food... Thank you for helping us get a glimpse of real history.

When she says real women, she means all women. When she says real women, she is not excluding the class in the spotlight, she is saying “women who aren’t painted pictures by the media for the male gaze to consume”. She is saying alive women and their multifaceted lives that the media reduced to their bodies and appearance. Edit: i don’t think she is talking only of the working class/ women who lived through hardship. All women did. Yes some less than others, but all did.
@cjoutright92553 жыл бұрын
I actually think this was made with the working class in mind. If you weren’t working class you could generally afford the more fancier outfits. I also don’t think it was for “male gaze” given that nowadays I’m not sure how many men look back on those photos compared to now and say “damn that’s sexy”. Probably the opposite. Being aware of race and gender roles are becoming increasingly popular now, but we generally lack the class consciousness that tie in to race and gender as well

Thank you for doing this!! I totally noticed it too. 1920s women are always depicted as flappers when really the society viewed them as disrespectful and inappropriate, most women were still dressed like they did during the war, just better

My great grandmother adopted my grandmother in 1950 the year my grandmother was born. Both my great grandparents were polish American immigrants who fleed Poland as children because of the outbreak of war and overall impact war had on Europe. My grandmother was a wonderful woman she was beautifully dressed, classy, beautiful and well versed in the art of sewing, painting and many other topics. My grandmother, on the other hand fell into a more rough life. She married two abusive peices of crap and supported two children on a salary of a cashier. During her second marriage, she went to nursing school with the little money she owned and became a hospice nurse. They died in 2020, three days apart. Me, my mom and my aunt all help to clear out their house. During the party we threw for them, I got to hear the wonderful stories of people who knew them very well. Aswell as reading hundreds of letters addressed to my grandmother for helping hospice families. It was one of the most beautifully solemn period of my life. I am proud to carry both their names.
