Occupation: Housewife

Delancy Place

This refers to The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan - and the Fifties in America. How different things were then!

My brother, and his wife, were this way, then. Now, fifty years later, things have changed, but they are not sure how to change with them.

One sister is a lesbian, married to another woman. Another is hugely overweight and suffering from Diabetes. I am living in Costa Rica. None of these possibilities existed in the Fifties.

We were living in a booming economy and could afford all those new homes in the suburbs, each with two new cars.
