Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes: The Story of Women in the 1950s by Virginia Nicholson

4.0

I didn't realize this was about Britain when I ordered it, but decided to read it anyway to see how that decade differed from the US. It was interesting to see what was similar, and what was different due to the proximity to WWII and austerity.

Nicholson's writing style is extremely meandering, and honestly, that bugged the hell out of me.
