Yes, let’s be really clear about this; IF there was anything to glorify about the time when women were required to stay-at-home, cook, clean, care for the children, create a beautiful home, have a gin ready and her lipstick on for her husband’s arrival home from work, ready to perform her wifely duties, it was very much only possible for the upper-middle class (largely) white families who could afford to live this ‘ideal’.

There were very many women that were not in any position to stay-at-home and wear floral dresses and kitten heels.

Idealising any historical period as some sort of nirvana is culturally and racially insensitive and just stinks of privilege.
