Today, I would like to concentrate on one of the fundamental elements of this traditional family setup; the Womans very-own Personal Vanity Space.
Men need their own spaces, of course. In Pittsburgh, the men would be given the basement, the garage, and the lower levels of a house. (Complete with a commode in the middle of the basement.) The women would get the largest bathroom in the house, and it would be hers. It was off limits to everyone else.
However, the need to use a bathroom as a personal vanity space was out of necessity. The ideal, of course, would be to have a separate room or area consisting of a vanity with large mirrors, great lighting and easy access to clothing. Here we talk about the specific design attributes for a vanity devoted to making a woman beautiful. The Vanity

This is a large specific piece of furniture that has only one purpose; for the woman of the house to preen herself and to make herself beautiful.
