Rinso sounds like it should be the name of a Futurama robot.

Her name is Stan?
No. For many, many, many years women were formally addressed as "Mrs. [Husband's first and last name]" rather than their own married name in polite company. Still happens today but it is becoming less common.
I remember my grandma being referred to like that, and I always felt it horrifying that women essentially lost their own names in this way once in married Society basically changed your name to make you an accessory to a guy.
Anglos used to be super weird about their women
Yeah, used to. Totally used to. Past tense.
So she must have been pretty much constantly pregnant from age 15 - 21. I get that it's a painting and not a photograph but she looks a lot older than 22. Also, why is the ad giving her street address?
Newspapers used to give addresses as well. For people they interviewed, witnesses, even victims of crime. Give a listen to The Past Times. They read old timey newspapers and it's a trip.
Really doubt any of the information is true. I bet the ad was created by men with seriusly messed up assumptions.
Nearly all of the old ads are barely believable. It's a whole different timeline - where the commons had no say.
