Everyday Women of the Golden Era

[Flicka]

I especially love this. They must be sisters, right? They look alike.

 

[Miss Tuppence]

Wow- what a portrait! I love the seated group photo and adore the lounge pyjama girls too

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Two Swedish women on election day, 1941

Very off season, some winter sporting women:

Ladies on their way to a winter resort, 1931 (Stockholm)

Ditto

Two female school camp instructors, 1946 (Sweden)

I especially love the first one with the 2 suited ladies. I love the low healed spectators with the suit! But one question? Election day 1941 in Sweden? The germans let them have an election during occupation? Just wondering!~

Sharpsburg

We were never occupied. Germany invaded Norway and Denmark, but not us. We were "neutral" throughout the war (read: terrified of Germany), so we had elections as usual. The Social Democrats were the biggest party without competition in that election (and have been ever since), so the Social Democratic leader Per-Albin Hansson continued on as Prime Minister, which he'd been since '36 (and before that, from '32-'36).

A portrait of my Grandmother not sure of the date, but must be the 30's or 40's

I love it- your Grandma is a real beauty As is McMurdo's.

Your grandmother and her friends must have been the envy of the town! I would love to have to have gone to the party

From a photoalbum I bought the other day. I´m slowly uploading the whole thing on tumblr. Right now it´s mostly pictures of children, though.

This photo was labeled "Miss Bondi 1948". I love her, you can just tell that she's already had a couple of beers & is trying compose herself for the photo

 

[lolly_loisides]

This photo was taken outside of a Sydney cinema during the 30's. Look for the woman on the left giving the two young girls the evil eye!

 

[LizzieMaine]

Oh how I wish I could dress up our kids in uniforms like that.

 

[Stanley Doble]

Getting an eye full all right ha ha ha. Looks like they don't know what to make of it, these new ushers uniforms.

 

[Miss Sis]

Women! In - shock - TROUSERS!!!!! My goodness, whatever next?!?!?

LOL. I think they look fabulous.

 

[lolly_loisides]

More women in trousers North Bondi rockpools.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I don't know what it is, but this reminds me of LizzieMaine. It doesn't really look like her (LM is way more attractive), but something about it does. I think it might be the hair and glasses (???)

 

[LizzieMaine]

I think those are exactly the same glasses as I have, although I don't think hers are quite as thick as mine -- I don't think *anybody's* are as thick as mine.

I'm quite intrigued by her hat -- amazing what can be done with a strip of felt, a handful of netting, and a pair of scissors!
