The Real Housewives of the 1950s
<p>You’ve undoubtedly heard it all before: housewives from the 1950s weren’t as happy as those hand-painted photographs depict! They hated their husbands and the enslavement that came with the misogynistic bastards! Don’t kid yourselves, those domestic goddesses were <em>miserable</em>! <em>Damn the patriarchy!</em></p>
<p>I admit, the “chronically outraged” are an exciting group to stomp around with, but comparative marital and familial bliss has caused me to take a pregnant pause and question: did anyone actually <em>ask</em> any of these 1950s housewives themselves? Were those primped and pressed wives and mothers <em>really</em> so depressed and oppressed?</p>
