An interesting collection of reflective short stories. I am glad that I read them! – Amazon reviewer
Housewives in post-war America had it all: fulfilled marriages, clean-cut kids, comfortable suburban homes with nice yards and two-car garages, and all the latest gadgets to make their housework easier.
The pain and horror of World War II were over. The economy was booming, and America was a world leader. American housewives were what they were always meant to be: supporting husbands, raising children, and building a home. Theirs was a life of ease. They were the fairytale princesses with the happy ending.
Women in 1950s America were sold a bill of goods about their purpose in life and their futures. Some bought it and some didn’t.
The five women in these five stories didn’t.
Five stories. Five women. Five roads that will lead to self-identity and fulfillment.
