Meet "The First Female Robot," Circa 1957

robette.jpgFresh from the pages of the 1957 FAO Schwartz Toy Store catalog comes Susie Robette. "The first female robot is, as might be expected, a fastidious housekeeper. She sweeps, dusts and vacuums" and through it all remains "feminine enough to wear a pony tail of coppered wire." Thank goodness. I mean, what girl wants to play with a robot that's all, like, scientific and stuff?
