All I can say in my defense is that all I did was enter descriptions following this pattern: “[decade] American housewives” into the prompt. For whatever reason, all the women depicted by the AI robots are white, thin, and pretty; I’m just sayin’ (writin’, actually). So here they are:
1840s — Era of Mark Twain’s mother (Twain was born 1835)
1850s
1860s — Civil War decade
1870s
1880s
1890s
1900s
1910s — Decade of The Great War (World War 1)
1920s — Pie!
1930s
1940s — Decade of World War 2
1950s — Decade in which I was born
1960s (Vietnam and Hippie Era)
1970s
The follow-up post, depicting the 1980s through the 2030s, is here.
