Magazines were telling them how to catch a man and make him stay, how to perfectly choose products, and to buy stuff for the home they always avoided a chance that there is possibly another way for women beyond being housewives. Public life taught them that they were not able to pursue any careers, education, or rights of independence they just needed to find themselves as good wives and mothers. These lines are about the dreams of American women at the end of 19th century, how hard public pressed in their ambitions and efforts to change the lifestyle. “Some women still remember painfully giving up those dreams, but most of the younger women no longer even thought about them ” Narrator All these women were crying for help, to get out of this cage of household routine. But this is all we see outside, and no one deepened inside their lives. They kept talking about it, but everyone wondered how they can possibly want more, as long as they had everything: husband, children, a big house. This quote references the problem that has no name, a strange feeling of unhappiness that American housewives felt. “It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered” Narrator We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
