"The good wife's guide"


Oops. This seems to be an urban legend with very little basis. In other words, a HOAX!

Just fifty years ago, married women got advice such as the following:

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first -- remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

You can get more of this in "The Good Wife's Guide" over at feministing.com. The last item in this 'guide' is: 'A good wife always knows her place'.

The past certainly is a different country universe ...
