Role and history of the 1950s housewife?

Asked by AshlynM (10684points) June 19th, 2011

Does anyone know of a website or books I can buy that explain the role and history of the 1950s housewife?

I need info such as the wife’s daily routine, morning routine, how the household worked, what type of equipment and food was available back then, what was acceptable in society, what was expected of the wife, that kind of thing.

I’ve tried looking online but none of the websites have a detailed description of what I’m looking for.
