Inside stories

"All that cooking, cleaning, darning, sewing, decorating, tending children, looking good for "him" when he came drifting in after work ... its always been a challenging life as a housewife. Frances Walsh draws from the many New Zealand womens magaizines that were housewives "bush telegraphs", as well as a link to their sisters and the world beyond their front gates, in an affectionate romp through womens toil and trouble from 1890 to 1975. "Inside stories" puts housewifely business under the spotlight, and reveals the myriad ways in which women dealt with the tyranny of keeping house -- and keeping sane." -- Back cover.
