Progress, indeed.

  • her chair is more comfortable
  • her clothing is less restrictive, owing to reduced standards of obedience to authority imposed on women
  • what she's reading is her own choice
  • notice how the bible woman has to sit? That's because she's shorter. Improved nutritional standards mean the 1915 woman is better-fed, and as a result, is taller

If she smokes, she pokes. Another freedom the other lady doesn't have.

I just noticed something about that chair. That style was a sort of precursor to the Lazy-Boy recliner - the back could be tilted backwards and forwards, held in place by a metal bar that rested on those notches on the back part of the arm rests. Not as convenient as a modern recliner since you actually had to get up off your ass to change the back angle, but still pretty comfortable.
