The Gilded Age, a period of significant economic growth in America, gave rise to consumerism as a cultural phenomenon. This era saw the middle class expand, with increased disposable income leading to a surge in spending on non-essential items. Technological innovations, global trade, and new retail experiences like department stores and mail-order catalogs further fueled the consumer culture. Leisure activities became a part of this consumption, with women playing a key role in household purchasing decisions, influencing the market and setting social standards.
