The washing machine transformed lives by freeing people—mainly women—from hours of manual labor, unlocking time for learning and growth. When a Swedish family first used one, even the grandmother sat mesmerized as electricity did what firewood and scrubbing once demanded. Today, two billion people have access to washing machines, while five billion still wash by hand, longing for this tool of liberation. As economies grow and energy use rises, the machine stands as a symbol of development’s real promise: giving people time and opportunity.
