Mary M. of Cooking with the Junior League sent me a link to amalah.com, where you will find images from a 1962 textbook titled When You Marry (you can find the full text of the 1953 edition without photos here, and Larry found a full pdf of the 1962 edition here):

The book covers many aspects of dating and marriage and provides some fascinating insights into gender roles and social assumptions of the time. Here are some useful facts about social classes and families that you might like to know:

Perhaps the difference is that in the old days, and I'm just guessing here, the women were working but it was work in/around the home, so they could still take care of young children. Compared with today, where "work" almost always involves leaving the home and going to an office or shop or some place outside the home, necessitating day care, babysitters, and splitting the family up.

Maybe with the increasing work-from-home telecommuting that's occurring, we'll see somewhat of a return to a situation where both parents can work without having to rely on daycare or childcare services. I could imagine myself being a stay at home dad but doing some kind of independent work via a home-office. Like the comic Adam @ Home.

@ Erik: I tried to resume work as a translator from home while my son was still tiny. Turns out he needed attention every waking moment (who knew!), and I couldn't rely on whether or how long he was going to nap so as to cram all my work into that window. I would stay up quite late at night to meet deadlines, which wasn't good for my health or mood. (I can imagine that if you have more than one child, they could play together, freeing you up for some work, but they might also fuss at each other.) In other words, it's a lovely idea, but in practice, very small children and brain-draining work don't mix. What if you hired some in-home child care to relieve you during work-intensive hours?

I believe that Minnesota Sociology's Reuben Hill had a hand in this one -- early fifties, perhaps? It was intended for high school students, I believe, and there's still a copy floating around the office.

The "kindness" of advertising seemed ironic to me--though of course I don't have the proper context. But it seems to be saying, in a roundabout way, that advertising IS a lie: "[w]ithout their aid we would never see such a pretty picture" means "what they show does not exist." Seems pretty negative to me, just a more subtle irony than we're used to these days.

The part about the heredity explains a scene in one of my favourite books that's always stuck out to me as rather baffling. It's called "Earth Abides" and it was written in the thirties. It was one of the first post-apocalyptic science fiction novels, taking place entirely after a virus has wiped out ninety-five percent of the world's human population. The main character is a white guy from San Francisco named Ish who survives and eventually meets a few other survivors and basically attempts to rebuild civilisation (with mixed results).

After exploring the dessicated countryside, he returns to his family home in SF and eventually meets a woman with whom he starts having children. Before they do this, though, she becomes very emotional and "confesses" to her mixed heritage, which is more implied than stated, mostly by the protagonist thinking to himself that, yes, her teeth did seem unusually white. And she is apparently guilty that she's going to be passing on her tainted genes, that some of their kids may be of darker complexion.

The interest in this is the mix of the absurd (suggesting black people are not affected by the state of their parents' marriage, or are even somehow negatively affected if their parents had a happy marriage?) and the frankly stated concepts that still have currency today. The point has already been made that there are only cosmetic differences between much of this and current self-help literature. The main difference is that it is now necessary to find metaphors (Venus and Mars) or euphemistic ways to make the same points. Right or wrong, and doubtless due to our status as partially-evolved, imperfectly-socialised human animals, it CAN cause friction when a wife (or wife-equivalent) is of a higher social status than her spouse, and the same is much less often the case when it is the husband who has a more upper-class background. And though kind of funny and clunky, and with the noted insult of the reference to "a few" women having special talents, the way that the issue of women balancing work and motherhood is approached is actually quite rational (for women who are, or who want to be, mothers). The same concerns could certainly be applied to men who take on the primary care-giver role. Even the discussion of Eugenics, though it makes your skin crawl, makes a couple of good points: of course it's important for couples to consider genetic weaknesses they may pass on (haemophilia, some mental ilnesses etc.) before having kids. It doesn't mean they should be subjected to compulsory sterilisation, it's just part of family planning. Don't forget that as well as forever dooming all study, or even mention, of Eugenics, the Nazis gave Darwinism a pretty thorough soiling too.

Laughing at this book, as with anything with a social opinion from the fifties, is enjoyable, but realising how little we've really changed is perhaps more constructive. Honestly facing the issues that hold the human race back from making best use of all its members is doubtless a better strategy than deciding that men and women are from different planets

This is really interesting.

Especially when searching for the similarities and differences of today beliefs about working class and middle class.

Although I think that these particular names are out of date.

P.P.

Lisa, can I ask you something - how about chavettes?

Does this term exists in US?

The black/white "breeding chart" is of dubious science at the very least, but I wonder in what context it was given. It doesn't seem to discourage interracial marriage. I wonder what else they said about interracial marriage. And I wonder if the black and white tags signified only the skin color of the children so produced or if it also identified their Race.

I kind of have issues with the reference that "women of color" worked and that the norm of a SAHM is a white thing. That may be the case in the west, but SAHMs were normal where non-whites were of "majority" as well. My parents are from Hong Kong and are Chinese (i.e. NOT WHITE). Both my grandmothers were SAHMs. It was just The Thing To Do for them and I'm pretty sure that none of their friends worked past getting pregnant either.
