{"product_id":"4040824090555","title":"Eight Hour Day","description":"\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with advertising and period design images—with references and vintage sources—this book is both an historic and nostalgic compendium of a transformative era in the American home. Post-war America experienced unprecedented prosperity with a subsequent population boom and a demand for new, affordable housing for a growing middle class. With the latest gadgetry and state-of-the-art appliances, the typical 1950s kitchen was efficient and well appointed—a frequently colorful and decorative workspace for the (mostly) servant-less housewife. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith war rationing over, access to a newfangled and burgeoning variety of prepared foods at the supermarket was readily available and canning a thing of the past for most households—while milk was still delivered to the kitchen door. Meanwhile, the now iconic 1950s housewife dominated advertising with her apron-clad kitchen presence and household know-how—even Betty Crocker® got an updated makeover. \"Baby Boomers\" born between 1946 and 1963, and many others, likely remember a 1950s kitchen from their childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50095960883440,"sku":"4040824090555","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/4040824090555","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
