I feel like a lot of these expectations on women persisted well into the twentieth century. To some extent, wasn't this the sentiment (or the challenging of this sentiment) that was the basis for a lot of the marital humor that appeared on shows like I Love Lucy? I think that the negotiation of a "companionate marriage," or maybe more specifically, the meaning of marriage in general, continues in a lot of ways to today. -erin b | I feel like a lot of these expectations on women persisted well into the twentieth century.

| + | Caroline Gilman annoyed me. She basically says when men offend their wife they are surprised by it and yet she is saying she keeps her mouth shut when he did something to offend her. How is he to know that his wife was offended if she does not tell him? Then she says that when he does something she does not like she tells him calmly and if unreformed she just accepts it. She gives contrary information. I guess I just do not like it when women accept their lot and move on. I am so glad I am not her. LeAnn Taggart | ||
