Reminds me of pre-feminist “The Total Woman”.... a self-help book for married women by Marabel Morgan.....still in libraries
.
The book sold over 500,000 copies within the first year, making it the most successful non-fiction book in the USA in 1974.
Overall, it sold more than ten million copies.
“It’s only when a woman surrenders her life to her husband, reveres and worships him and is willing to serve him, that she becomes really beautiful to him,” Morgan wrote.
Grounded in evangelical Christianity, it taught that “A Total Woman caters to her man’s special quirks, whether it be in salads, sex or sports,”
.....best remembered for instructing wives to greet their man at the front door wearing sexy outfits; suggestions included “a cowgirl or a showgirl.”
It was said that Marbel once greeted her husband completely wrapped in Saran.
Which is where that scene in “Fried Green Tomatos” comes from. I would say more about that “movie/book”...but don’t want to get sued.
