Too much petticoat rule says Ruth Millett
Ruth Millett argues that wartime conditions force women to balance mothering and fathering duties. With husbands overseas, mothers bear sole childrearing burdens, while men’s absence leaves boys without male role models. She calls for practical help to replace worn out petticoat rule, not blame, as war widows struggle to guide and discipline their children.
