The concept of women using their domestic skills to “clean up” or fix political systems and issues goes back to the 19^th century. This imagery is still in use in our current times as this particular slogan was featured on buttons sold at the National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) at the 2000 US Democratic Party Convention. The NWPC was founded in 1971 in increase the number of women in all aspects of political life. As part of their mission, they offer campaign training for candidates and campaign managers.
