Women's Roll in the 1950's

I was married in 1955, and I can assure you that most wives then didn't follow those rules. Men usually got a smile when they got home, and wives appeared happy to see them. They usually listened to what you had to say, seemed interested in your day, and asked a lot of questions. But young husbands and wives were much more on an equal footing than that article indicates. That was also my experience in my early with my mother and father when I was growing up in the 1930's and 40's.
