Yesterday’s housewives
The stereotypical image of a housewife still lingers in the minds of many Americans today, even though it’s now mostly fiction. In the 1950’s, women often waited for their husbands to come home. A man would return from a hard day’s work and be greeted with a kiss and a cold glass of lemonade. Every morning he’d awaken to the smell of bacon. While at work, his wife clean the carpet, hang up laundry and prepare supper for her hard-working husband.
