order and beauty

 


Viewing the Netflix documentary about Martha Stewart was kind of a transformative experience. 

Just - interesting.


        On You Tube there are videos showing the trailer for the documentary.  One Viewer Comment said,

"I sort of felt bad vibes from the whole documentary."

        (Woody Allen:  "I was at an Alice Cooper concert once, six people were rushed to the hospital with bad vibes!")


Another viewer Commented:

--  She did a lot to give value to the important work of caring for a home at a time when mainstream feminism was really focused on achieving masculine ideals.  

But household management is extremely important - to care for each other, avoid waste, and surround ourselves with order and beauty, these are noble goals.  


        And a lot of knowledge was in the process of being lost, which she then captured and documented.  I think it's so interesting that in the process, she also managed to be the first woman to achieve one of the ultimate masculine ideals of being a billionaire CEO.
