Probably More Realistic Than My Blog ... Maybe
I'll update tomorrow with my Jack Handey-style Deep Thoughts (did I just date myself?) on this round of the 50s Housewife Experiment. In the meantime, here's something 50s-friendly for those of you who are looking to waste time at work / avoid your children / occupy yourself while in the bathroom (ew):
LIFE Magazine's Dec 24, 1956 issue was devoted to the subject of "The American Woman - Her Achievements and Trouble" - and it's freely available in its entirety online (including the ads!). It includes articles on topics like:
- the most popular careers held by women
- the life of the homemaker / stay-at-home mom
- the "having it all" woman
- expectant mothers
- political wives
- two interesting opinion pieces on how great / awful women are (it's a must-read ... some of you might even be horrified - and it's not a Jen But Never Jenn blog experience unless at least one of you leaves disgusted - it's on pages 72-76)
- a husband's approval of his career-oriented wife
- the beauty industry
- ideals of beauty around the world
- women involved in civics and community service
- the state of the modern marriage
- traits women believed the ideal man had, as demonstrated, rather randomly, by Perry Como (next experiment: Patrick tries to be
Perry Comothe perfect 50s husband for a week. Yes? No? Patrick votes no. Boo.)
Also ... did you send my sister some happy vibes yet? I am *loving* all the advice and well-wishes so far!

Thanks for this! Will dive into it today while I'm on the toilet, oh, I mean, taking a break. J/k!
Thanks for the link.
In the article "The First Baby" the expectant mother, now in labor "...rests with a cigaret (sic) and awaits the final word from the doctor." which should be STOP SMOKING!
My lunch hour was spent reading the magazine you linked to. What a time warp!
Glad you guys enjoyed the read. I know I did!
Yogahz: There is *so much* about that magazine to comment on. It could be a blog of its own.
