7.4 Women’s work
Ever been fascinated by how the machinery of domestic life has evolved over time? Then this episode of "Voices from the North East Podcast" is for you! Join Paul and Justine as they take you through a riveting exploration of the washing evolution, depicting a tale where washboards and mangles have made way for high-efficiency washing machines and even robotic vacuum cleaners. Reflecting on the demanding physical labour involved in the past, they underline the roles this demanding household chore played in shaping our cultural understanding of gender roles and domestic responsibilities.
Progress is a double-edged sword, isn't it? As we step further into the episode, Paul and Justine invite listeners to reflect on the instances of resistance to change and nostalgia for traditional routines and rituals. They highlight the presence of local laundrettes still providing services to the communities, serving as a symbol of resilience and adaptation. Drawing a parallel between newer inventions like robo vacs and older ones like washing machines, this episode encourages you to rethink the ever-changing narrative of technological advancements.
