Glenna Matthews, who herself spent many years as ""just a housewife"" before becoming a scholar of American history, sets out to redress this imbalance. While the male world of work has always received the most respect, Matthews maintains that widespread reverence for the home prevailed in the nineteenth century.WomenUnited StatesSocial conditionsHousewivesUnited StatesHistory19th centuryHousewivesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryWomenSocial conditions.HousewivesHistoryHousewivesHistory305.420973Matthews Glenna1656724MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823112103321"Just a housewife"4104334UNINA
