ghost in the glass

Yep. And fascinating how the technologies that turned our grandmothers from daily domestic drudges to people with time to think about something other than the laundry disappear and become ubiquitous, so that we wonder why on earth the "modern norm" ever happened. I mean, if you asked an average woman what one of the most labour-saving devices she had in her house was, I almost guarantee you very few (who weren't students of women's history) would say "my laundry machine and dryer."
