Campbells, anyone?
My mother’s generation was the first to really tackle full-time employment outside the house. They didn’t negotiate the division of household duties well when taking on their 9-5, and retained responsibility for almost all the work their mothers and grandmothers did around the home. Including the cooking. My generation ate a lot of canned soup.
