Retroculture is really a thing.

Does she have a victory garden in her back yard?
And someone should tell her that they did have indoor plumbing in the cities in the 1930s.

As a recovering Young Fogey, I totally agree with this.

More fun to live like it is 8,000 BC.

There was an excellent BBC short series titled, "Supersizers Go..." in which a couple, a restaurant critic and a comedienne, eat the diet and live the lifestyle of various periods of British history ranging from the Roman era to the 1980s. Prior to each week, they receive battery of medical tests, blood work, etc. with a follow up visit at the end of the week for comparison. IIRC, they actually came out of the WWII episode with some pretty positive results:
Supersizers Go Wartime
I can highly recommend the entire series for foodies, history buffs and just those looking for a little off-beat entertainment.

Cool. So she’s a prepper, sort of.
I’m doing something similar. Not discarding all modern conveniences just yet, but preparing for a possible grid-down situation by acquiring/installing old-timey accoutrements as backups.
The outhouse is quite convenient when I’m doing yardwork and would rather not trek all the way back to the house, and I keep a bottle of alcohol out there for hand washing.
But I still appreciate, and use, my modern indoor plumbing, and for now, my future chamber pot holds a lovely houseplant.

I think one of the ladies from the TV show “1940s House” continued on with some of the practices from that time. Heaven knows none of the “Frontier House” ladies had any interest in hanging onto much from the daily realities of THAT lifestyle!

Living like it's 1939 England would be a hardship.
