The society changed rapidly during her lifetime, she was born when there was no radio, no TV, the first telephones had been installed in the village, everybody walked or used horse carriage, some bicycles there were but that was all. The boats were propelled by sails or by rowing, no electricity (the village was connected to the national grid after I was born!) the water had to be carried in, no central heating... the list of what we take for granted nowadays could be a mile long.
She saw the modern society grow into what it is today, with its' pros and cons, she saw the WW2, she saw the man walk on the moon. She saw it all...
