In the 1950s, young families moved from the cramped and shabby conditions of the city to newly built suburbs with architect-designed homes and kitchens fitted with modern luxuries such as refrigerators and electric cookers. The nuclear family was the ideal, and the stay-at-home housewife was its centre.
This autumn, Forstadsmuseet and Brøndby Kulturhuse og biblioteker invite you on a different kind of literary history walk. Through stories of suburban life after the war and readings of literature about the joys and sorrows of the housewife, the evening explores the era at Kulturhuset Kilden.
