On the surface a compliant and submissive wife, but inside I bet she would be happier to be what she really wants to be! Regards // paul

Reminded me of the movie - totally 60s theme. Love it. My mother's generation. Saw it with my own eyes.

I was lucky to rarely ever see it, but believe it or not I am really seeing it now. Of course, I meet lots of abused women in my line of work.

"...a stepford wife...never being herself..."; contradiction?

To me a stepford wife is living her husband's dream of what she should be, never being herself.
