Synopsis
A nostalgic look at what it was like to be a housewife in the 1950s Being a housewife in the 1950s was quite different than today. Women were expected to create a spotless home, delicious meals, and an inviting bedroom. From the perils of "courting" to the inevitable list of wedding gifts to the household tips that any self-respecting new wife should know, this book collects heartwarming personal anecdotes from women who embarked on married life during this fascinating post-war period, providing a trip down memory lane for any wife or child of the 1950s.

    • Not happy with it. Don't recommend it.

      I was hoping for a more comprehensive view of the '50s, but all I got was reminiscences of the very early '50s, even going back into the '40s. And it was written from memory, not actuality. I was disappointed. I got married in 1959 and hoped for a picture of what married life was like at that time. And on top of all that, it was not about life in the States but about life in England. Maybe I misread the "about" copy. But I was not happy with it.

    • Homemaking in the 1950's.

      Very interesting! I didn't know that it was based on England and not the US when I bought it. Not sure I would have purchased this had I known that.
