The Pleasures of Modern Living

This series looks at the luxuries and pleasures of American life after WWII. Prosperity reigned, material consumption exploded, leisure time grew, and advertising portrayed us as “good” and “happy.”

Among my interests as I worked were the illusion of security, food as an object of desire and comfort, the portrayal of women and domestic culture, and the grip of materialism.
