The Good Wife Guide The “Good Wife Guide” is an advisory text from the 1950’s telling typical 1950’s women on how to accomplish their role as a “good wife”.

This creates a rather stern and overpowering tone‚ connoting that women in the 1950’s were being ‘told’ what to do. Other parts of the text seem to suggest that women had no right to make any individual decisions and
