Being a housewife in the 1950s was quite a different experience to
today. After the independence of the wartime years, women had to
leave their jobs when they married and support their husband by
creating a spotless home, delicious meals and an inviting bedroom.
A 1950s Housewife collects heart-warming personal anecdotes from
women who embarked on married life during this fascinating post-war
period, providing a trip down memory lane for any wife or child of
the 1950s. This book will prove an eye-opener for those who now
wish they had listened when their mothers attempted to tell them
stories of the 'old days', and will provide useful first-hand
accounts for those with a love of all things kitsch and vintage.
From ingenious cleaning tips, ration-book recipes and home decor
inspiration, the homemaking methods of the fifties give an
entertaining and poignant insight into the lives of 1950s women.
