"She not only ironed the pants in the family, she wore them too. The housewife of the 1940s and 1950s was a lean, mean, household machine. Armed with “amazing” new products and tools guaranteed to make her life easier and more efficient, she smiled her way through the day. A domestic goddess in ruffled apron and coiffed hair, she was the epitome of postwar perfection."
I love this book! I swear, I was meant to live then. I adore the entire culture of that era housewife! Now, this is not the only book in the series, and I have several of them. I especially like the cookbooks I own from the retro series. Talk about wonderful comfort food! Go to the retro series page at www.collectorspress.com to see the whole line. Fun fun fun!!!!
i certainly wish that i could meet a real good woman like Donna Reed or June Cleaver today. they were very caring, loving, down to earth, and very committed to their men too. very hard to find one of them today, since women have changed.
