Anyway, for my textiles project I'm researching into womens changing role in society and now moving onto look at womens suffrage and liberation. So things like the mini-skirt and corsetry.

Gotta say, it's making me a feminist.
I found the "Guide to Being the Perfect Wife"

Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. Well, at least untie them and let them out of the broom closet... They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.

Be happy to see him.

Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Come on, give the guy a few minutes to relax already! Let him talk first - remember his topics of conversation are more important that yours.

Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.

Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.

Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness.

A good wife always knows her place.

I like 1950's clothing.
I do NOT like 1950's men.
