Kathleen Norris catalogs the clash between older, hands on household labor and a modern young wife in Seaford Long Island who claims to manage two babies, daily chores and self care with conveniences like vacuum cleaning and ready made foods, while praising supportive husbands and neighbors.
A mothers group in New York, with two to eight children each, endures postwar hardships from scarce supplies and slow services. They manage most tasks themselves, sew and garden, host dances, and rely on few mechanical aids while some wives of servicemen work. Miss Norris calls them wonder women.
Buy ready made garments with attention to future alterations. Avoid outfits that require complex changes and prefer pieces that fit the upper body if a full fit cannot be found. Skirts are often easier to alter than the bodice.
