In this innovative historical survey, Annegret S. Ogden addresses
the need for the modern housewife to adapt to the additional role
of wage earner. By examining a variety of diaries, letters,
domestic fiction, and household books of the past two centuries, as
well as solid statistical and historical data, she seeks not only
to uncover the motivations and origins of the typical American
housewife, but also to discover an alternative life pattern that
has characterized a virtually unrecognized minority of American
women. These are the immigrant, black, and frontier women, as well
as any other part-time homemakers, who long ago forged the survival
tools that are needed by today's majority of working housewives. It
is Ogden's contention that an understanding of the historical
housewife, as well as her working counterpart, will light the way
for those modern American housewives who must adapt their role as
both homemaker and wage earner to the shifting complexities of
contemporary American life.
