I remember that, my wife had it up in the kitchen where she belongs - it reminds her of the promises she made on our wedding day in exchange for being kept in luxury.

Are you for real,it was very real.
A woman's job was at home in the kitchen etc.It was WW1/WW2 that contributed towards changing things for Women.Before WW1 some women did work outside the home,mainly in textiles and clothing industry,but a woman's place for most was at home.Because the men were off fighting in the war it left a shortage of male workers,so women would be employed to work in the factories making ammunition etc,some worked on Farms.A few women got a taste/liking for doing this work earning a wage,and didn't want to give it up when the war was over.They got the right to vote in 1928,then WW2 happened blah blah blah,the rest is history,and we are where we are today.

Seems I was right to have doubts about the authenticity of the magazine cutting, although I'm not disputing there's some truth to it:
The question here is whether the piece quoted above really came from a home economics textbook. Is it real, or is it yet another of those "look how far we've come" fabrications? We know the graphic reproduced above (supposedly from the 13 May 1955 edition of a magazine called Housekeeping Monthly) is a fabrication: It didn't first appear until well after the "How to Be a Good Wife" list had begun circulating via e-mail, and it's clearly a mock-up produced by adding the text of the e-mail around an image taken from a 1957 cover of John Bull magazine. (The image itself even bears an "Advertising Archives" legend along its side, indicating its source.) As for the text itself, nobody has turned up the infamous textbook that supposedly included these ten steps. The list is often attributed to Helen B. Andelin's book Fascinating Womanhood, first published in 1963 to provide instruction in "The Art of Winning a Man's Complete Love," but no such list appears in that work.
