I would definitely go back to the 1940s. I love the way the country pulled together in war time--everyone doing their part to support the cause. I can see myself planting a victory garden, giving up my nylons, and working in a factory. It is a time in history that has always fascinated me.

Me too. This sounds like lots of fun. I want a pioneer lady to live with me for a month!

You know, there was a book something like this, The Mirror by Marlys Millhiser. A present day woman and her great-grandmother (if I remember it correctly) switched places in time. I was fascinated by what the woman of the past thought of modern times.
