1971 / Homemaker / Rooms

LEGO Homemaker was a theme introduced in 1971 designed to appeal primarily to girls and centered on domestic and suburban life-based settings. The larger of the Homemaker sets could be assembled to build complete room settings of a house, including a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedrooms while smaller sets could build models of other household fixtures. The sets are known for using Homemaker figures built using standard LEGO bricks.

1971 LEGO Sets

In 1971, LEGO expanded specifically to the girls market. While in the past LEGO marketed all of its models to both boys and girls alike, it was not until 1971 that LEGO produced furniture pieces and dollhouses for girls specifically. LEGO also continued to produce new sets for the Italian Minitalia brand as well as introduce new parts such as the 1x8x2 arch bricks which were first introduced that year.
