Probably one of the reasons that many "Good Wives" became feminists. Apparently the 1955 "good wife" didn't feel like passing the rules on to her own daughters. The hand that rocks the cradle...
My mother was the 1955 'good wife' but didn't encourage her daughters to be the same. Quite the opposite actually.
I'm the one daughter who turned the clock back. I'm the 'good wife'...and am teaching my daughter to be the same. :o)
