This week's HerStory fits in with the America 250 Ohio February theme of Innovation and Industry! Club Women of Ohio wanted these new innovations of the early 20th century in their own homes!
Of course the Ohio Federation had a campaign slogan: "Lift the Mortgage on Woman's Time".
Here are some of the quotes that Dr. J.L. Peirce asked to be put in the newspapers in support of this initiative:
"Housework constitutes a first mortgage on all a woman's time from the moment she wakes in the morning until she lies down at night."
"'Don't be too busy to live', club head tells home women."
"Ohio Women declare war on Household Drudgery; ask for better equipped homes"
