I came across this in an email but it's published in a number of other places, including books:[html][/html]I wanted to see where it was originally published (it says "Housekeeping Weekly"), which I could not find via Google search or Google Archives.  However, I did see something on Wikipedia which doubted the veracity of "The Good Wife's Guide" (they claim there is no "Housekeeping Weekly" and they show that the accompanying photo was the same as a 1957 issue of "John Bull").My take: assuming this is a hoax, which it does seem to be, how many people have been duped by this?  Take a look and see all the books which refer to the "Guide".  How many feminists and others have argued for contemporary "change" based on erroneous sources, or have pointed to the "oppression" of women as recently as a few decades ago, or have argued that we never want to go back to the way it was in the 1950s?This is what I would refer to as "trickle down history"; if a myth is repeated enough, the notion seeps into our collective unconscious and we use it to form ideas about future courses of action.  These ideas, though seemingly minor, can have repercussions.  Again, although I am not 100% sure that the "Good Wife's Guide" is a fabrication, until I see actual proof that it came from an actual publication, I think we have to assume it was.
