Product description
Specifications
Rizsporos hétköznapok, or "Powdered Everyday Life", is a richly illustrated book by Budai Lotti, published by Álomgyár Kiadó in 2020, that explores how women lived and managed their daily routines throughout history. It is the second volume of the series, following the author's earlier exploration of the boudoirs and salons of 18th and 19th century ladies.
The book looks at the practical solutions women devised before modern inventions. Readers learn how they dealt with menstruation, how they washed and dried their hair before synthetic shampoos and hairdryers existed, and how a great laundry day was carried out in the Middle Ages.
The volume also addresses the joys, pains and challenges of female life, including engagement, childbirth, marriage and widowhood, as well as topics that were once carefully concealed, such as contraception and same-sex love. The text grew out of the author's blog, which has been followed by a large readership for years, and is written in an engaging, entertaining style.
