‘Fully Electrified Kitchen is all That a Modern Emancipated Woman Needs’: The Feminist Techno-Utopia in The Interwar Czechoslovak Women’s Magazine Eva

Original language description

This study explores the emancipatory techno-imaginary portrayed in the media discourse of theCzechoslovak interwar women&apos;s magazine Eva. Employing a feminist lens on media archaeology, we dissectthe magazine&apos;s usage of the topos of the new woman. Central to the analysed discourse is the concept of anemancipatory scale, rooted in the technodeterminist belief that new technologies will inevitably revolutionisegender dynamics. Despite Eva&apos;s declarative upscale audience, it perpetuates the collective idea that anywoman can attain emancipation through technological investment. This scale emphasises women&apos;sindispensable role in household management for economic advancement, with ownership of householdappliances marking progression. The pinnacle of emancipation, symbolised by the automobile, remainselusive for many women due to male influence. The analysis uncovers overlooked aspects of interwarCzechoslovak discourse, shedding light on women&apos;s techno-imaginary and the limitations of everydayemancipation.
