I love this cartoon from the 1950s because it reveals an interesting truth about how the woman's role was viewed. It reveals that although women may not have a standard paying job, their work as a housewife should always be valued. The husband represents every man who may not understand the unique contribution that women have on society. This is something that I really appreciate because this cartoon was made exclusively by men in the 1950s. Feminists often say that women were kept down by men and prevented from doing anything meaningful in society. However, this cartoon shows that men SHOULD appreciate women. Additionally, it's also nice that they didn't portray the wife as a weak individual. She wasn't a servant to her husband, she was a provider to the household. So, when Hollywood says they are creating a "strong independent woman"(as if that's something unique) they should refer to this cartoon. Women were never weak, even when they had different roles in the 1950s.
