When I see this image of the woman stooping over to wash the dishes I'm
reminded of a story that I heard so long ago that I can't testify as to
its source or veracity or the accuracy of my memory in retelling it.
Anyhow, the story, as I recall it, was of a tribe in Africa where the
older women had a permanent stoop. Supposedly this was from sweeping
their huts. All of the women used a form of broom that had a very short
handle. It was used one-handed stooped over as is the woman washing the
dishes. Had they never envisioned a two-handed broom with a long handle
to avoid stooping? Why do these Vietnamese not have something akin to a
sink or at least some higher level work surface?
