“Why is it ‘housewife’? What would I call myself if we lived in a hotel? Nobody ever puts down just ‘wife,’ or even just ‘mother.’ If you haven’t got a job, and you don’t keep house, then you aren’t anything. apparently. I wish I was something else. I mean, besides keeping house, I wish I was a designer, for instance. The children would think a lot more of me, if I was a designer. Maybe Tom would, too.”
