It's like Socialist Realism, looks really good, but it was all propaganda.

Why did Rachel not have to help out, is my question.
Her mother wanted her to have a different life, I can imagine she was intentionally kept out of it.
Not reading this because it doesn’t render in reader mode. But what is this picture labeled cottagecore 1940? Im pretty sure it wasn’t called cottagecore back then. I think they probably just called it clothing.
Edit: lol ok, I got this to render in reader mode, so I could read it. Did not answer my question. Also there’s another picture labeled as cottagecore from a time when they would not have used that term.
I think, she's just showing an example of the aesthetic that we would now call "cottagecore", even though it would not have been called that back then. Lots of trends did not have a name when they were their most popular...
It does actually help to read the article. That will answer your question.
