  Really, Abby? The clothes washer? Hmmmpf. I can understand why the Vatican might eliminate my nominee from the running for, er, political reasons, but, as lovely as it was to toss the washboard in exchange for an automatic top-loading agitator, it's pretty obvious oral contraception did far, far, more for women's liberation than the washing machine. Birth control pills revolutionized women's sex lives. In a contest for "what contributed most to the emancipation of Western women," laundry doesn't even come close.
