5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely book on the joys of creating a happy home., November 14, 1998
This book, while written decades ago as the women's movement was in its infancy, still has much to offer today's woman. Ms. McGinley, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, writes a book devoted to the "world's oldest (and most honorable) profession" that of housewife.

Divided into three sections, Wife, House and Family, the book covers these traditional concerns with chapters on higher education for women, thrift as a philosophy, children's literature, hospitality and keeping up with the Joneses.

A quick and enjoyable read, this book makes even the most devoted career-minded woman take a moment to savor the ways in which to improve one's home, meals and family life. This is one of those books that I pull out and reread over and over again when it is time to get some perspective on what's important in life. A truly wonderful book that while slightly dated--is never out of style!

5.0 out of 5 stars For mothers everywhere, April 25, 2005
While I didn't agree with everything in this book, I agreed with most of it. I liked it so much I bought copies for several of my sahm friends. It is a sweet and practical book, friendly and cheering as cookies and tea. It's not the only homemaking book you should own, but it should certainly be among the top twenty.
