This series of authentic old photographs shows different women in their daily lives. One woman in shorts irons her clothes earnestly, while another woman with her bare body is busy working, perhaps a hardship and frustration in their lives.
These photographs may be a reflection on social roles, or they may be a realistic representation of the lives of different classes.
In any case, they are the mirror of the times, which makes us think deeply about the status and role of women in society, and also makes us cherish the happy life of today.
