This book presents data from a major study on the employment, income, and homemaking practices of working wives in midwestern America during the late 1950s. The study was conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, and the findings provide important insights into how employment outside the home impacted women's roles within the family, particularly with regard to income disparities between husbands and wives. The authors analyze the net income of working wives, their expenses, homemaking practices, and spending habits. The analysis reveals that the expenses related to the wives' employment, including taxes and transportation costs, often reduced their net income significantly, especially for those with young children. Additionally, the book examines management practices related to household tasks, consumer credit use, and housing and home-mortgage debt. Overall, this book offers a valuable historical perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by working wives in the mid-twentieth century, highlighting the economic factors that shaped their experiences and contributions to family life.
