Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With the rise of agricultural mechanization, during the late-19th and early-20th centuries, advertisers developed stereotyped agricultural images to market newly-developed technologies. The “dairyqueen” pin-up image projected romanticized and constructed notions of both the tool and the milkmaid. Advertisers understood that while women worked in dairying, men controlled finances and purchasing on the Ontario family farm. For this reason, advertisements needed to appeal to both genders. Meanwhile, Ontario’s 19th- and early-20th-century farmwomen persisted with out-moded and unmechanized tools, despite the availability of labour-saving devices and the ever-increasing dairy workload. This article discusses the juxtaposition between the idealized dairyqueen image and the Ontario farmwoman’s daily life, while also indicating an underlying ideological devaluation of dairywomen’s work during this period. Resume De pair avec la mecanisation de l’agriculture, a la fin du XIXe et au debut du XXe siecle, les publicitaires ont developpe des images stereotypees du monde de l’agriculture afin de commercialiser les nouveaux outillages. L’image de la dairyqueen, laitiere et pin-up, elaborait une notion fabriquee et romantique, a la fois de l’outil agricole et de la femme de la laiterie. Les publicitaires avaient saisi que, pendant que les femmes travaillaient a la laiterie, les hommes controlaient les finances et les achats dans les fermes familiales de l’Ontario. Pour cette raison, les publicites devaient etre attractives pour les deux sexes. Cependant, les fermieres de l’Ontario de la fin du XIXe et du debut du XXe siecle persistaient a employer des outils depasses et non mecanises, malgre la possibilite de se procurer des appareils permettant d’alleger leur charge de travail, en augmentation constante dans les laiteries. Cet article discute de la juxtaposition de l’image idealisee de la dairyqueen et de la vie quotidienne des fermieres de l’Ontario, tout en signalant la devaluation ideologique sous-jacente du travail des laitieres au cours de cette periode.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
