Pretty while you work


Two girls who worked together in a newspaper and barely knew each other found out at a party one night that they were both fascinated by their grandmothers' magazines, that is to say by that time in History in which women were schizophrenically perfect at the eyes of society and whithin the context of their time. One of the girls, appropriately named Aurora (=Dawn), thus leading to a new beggining, thought it would be fun to put on the internet what they both had been collecting over the time. Pretty while you work does not intend to be an academic essay online about women's condition over the ages; it's only our bit of fun for those who wish to explore it with us.




Duas raparigas que trabalhavam juntas num jornal e pouco sabiam uma da outra, descobriram, certa noite numa festa, que ambas tinham um fascínio pelas imagens e textos das revistas das suas avós, o mesmo é dizer por essa época em que a Mulher era esquizofrenicamente perfeita aos olhos e contexto da época.  Uma das raparigas, apropriadamente chamada Aurora - o que sempre leva a novos começos -  pensou que seria engraçado colocar o que tinham coleccionado na internet. Pretty while you work não pretende ser um ensaio académico online sobre a condição da Mulher ao longo dos tempos; é uma diversão nossa para quem quiser explorá-la connosco.
