Ruth Millett Ideal Husband in Women’s Magazines
A study of the ideal husband as portrayed by women's magazines rejects the image of a bossy patriarch. Instead the ideal shares chores, discusses problems with his wife, and joins in family life, while still commanding respect and providing guidance. The piece questions if this modern husband is too soft, becoming a child’s best pal rather than a father.
