In Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes, Virginia Nicholson tells the story
of women in the 1950s: a time before the Pill, when divorce spelled
scandal and two-piece swimsuits caused mass alarm. Turn the page
back to the mid-twentieth century, and discover a world peopled by
women with radiant smiles, clean pinafores and gleaming coiffures;
a promised land of batch-baking, maraschino cherries and brightly
hued plastic. A world where the darker side of the decade
encompassed rampant prostitution, a notorious murder, and the
threat of nuclear disaster. Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes
reconstructs the real 1950s, through the eyes of the women who
lived it. Step back in time to when our grandmothers scrubbed their
doorsteps, cared for their families, lived, laughed, loved and
struggled. This is their story.
