| Summary: |
"All that cooking, cleaning, darning, sewing, decorating, tending children, looking good for 'him' when he came drifting in after a day at work - it's always been a challenging life as a housewife ... draws from the many New Zealand women's magazines that were the housewives' 'bush telegraphs' ... in an affectionate romp through women's toil and trouble from 1890 to 1975"--Back cover. |
