{"product_id":"9780750966924","title":"A 1950s Housewife: Marriage and Homemaking in the 1950s","description":"Being a housewife in the 1950s was quite a different experience to today. After the independence of the wartime years, women had to leave their jobs when they married and support their husband by creating a spotless home, delicious meals and an inviting bedroom.     A 1950s Housewife collects heart-warming personal anecdotes from women who embarked on married life during this fascinating post-war period, providing a trip down memory lane for any wife or child of the 1950s. This book will prove an eye-opener for those who now wish they had listened when their mothers attempted to tell them stories of the ‘old days’, and will provide useful first-hand accounts for those with a love of all things kitsch and vintage.        From ingenious cleaning tips, ration-book recipes and home decor inspiration, the homemaking methods of the fifties give an entertaining and poignant insight into the lives of 1950s women.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121774444784,"sku":"9780750966924","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780750966924_p0.jpg?v=1763636501","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780750966924","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
