The American housewife was once one of the most recognizable figures in society. In the 1950s and early 1960s, millions of women were expected to dedicate their lives to raising children, managing the home, and supporting their husbands. Yet within a single generation, that model of family life changed dramatically.
In this video, we explore how the American housewife disappeared in one generation and the social, economic, and cultural forces that reshaped women's lives. Discover how rising living costs, changing career opportunities, higher education, birth control, feminism, and shifting expectations transformed the traditional homemaker role. Learn why the stay-at-home wife became less common and how American families adapted to a world where dual-income households increasingly became the norm.
