"prehistoric woman-targeted gadgets"

Today, Boing Boing posted a link to an article about women's gadgets in the 1920s and 1930s. It's fascinating to see how marketers have targeted women over the years.

In the above image, "From 1928 to 1933, Kodak manufactured several colored and deco-styled cameras that were designed to attract women. Among the camera kits designed was the Vanity Kodak Ensemble outfit, which included a color-coordinated camera, lipstick holder, compact, mirror and change purse in a fitted case."
