Housewife's Choice (DVD Screening)

Monday 1st September 2008

Not only did they have to look after their families in an age of depression, war and austerity, but they did so without the consumer durables that we now consider essential. With humour frequently in its sights, Housewife's Choice is a programme of short films from the BFI National Archive that explores the lives of British housewives from the 1920s to the 1950s.Event details »
