EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1879, a determined housewife dons an apron and sets about the task of skinning a rabbit for dinner, her expression reflecting a mix of concentration and apprehension. The kitchen, with its worn wooden shelves and earthenware plates, is filled with the aroma of cooking food and the faint sound of sizzling butter. However, the scene is not without tension, as the hands of the clock creeping closer to her husband's expected dinner time. The husband, unseen in the photograph, is likely growing increasingly impatient as his wife grapples with the unfamiliar process of skinning the rabbit. The argument between them, hinted at by the title, may have stemmed from her desire to take on more domestic duties, traditionally carried out by the servant class. This historical image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Victorian-era household, where the division of labor was strictly defined and the role of women was often relegated to the domestic sphere. The image also highlights the importance of cooking and the preparation of meals as a crucial aspect of maintaining a household, even as the industrial revolution began to change the way food was produced and consumed. Despite the challenges and the late hour, the housewife remains focused on the task at hand, her determination evident in the set of her jaw and the firm grip she holds on the rabbit. The photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of women throughout history, as they adapted to new roles and responsibilities in the face of changing societal norms.
