This is an image I got from a cookery book I had at home.
The book is Good House Keeping’s Picture Cookery, published 1950, page 204
The book is old and it has a lot of adverts at the back, this advert is for a product that clears ovens, the advert it clearly aimed at women and in particular house wives, you wouldn’t catch a man on his hands and knees scrubbing the oven. From what I and see the fictional characters Audrey and Brenda are imitating the idea of what a house wife should be like in the early part of the 20th century
