The Real Housewives of the 1950s

<p>You&rsquo;ve undoubtedly heard it all before: housewives from the 1950s weren&rsquo;t as happy as those hand-painted photographs depict! They hated their husbands and the enslavement that came with the misogynistic bastards! Don&rsquo;t kid yourselves, those domestic goddesses were&nbsp;<em>miserable</em>!&nbsp;<em>Damn the patriarchy!</em></p> <p>I admit, the &ldquo;chronically outraged&rdquo; 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&nbsp;<em>ask</em>&nbsp;any of these 1950s housewives themselves? Were those primped and pressed wives and mothers&nbsp;<em>really</em>&nbsp;so depressed and oppressed?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@lauhall/the-real-housewives-of-the-1950s-79a09f5a1fe4"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
