Shopping for food in the 1950s and 1960s was done every day as storing fresh food was difficult. There were no supermarkets so the housewife would visit the local baker, the butcher, the greengrocer and the grocer individually, carrying all her shopping home in baskets or in a pull-along trolley. She would pride herself on budgeting and keeping within the weekly allowance that she would receive from her husband. Not many working or middle class families had a family car although many had motorbikes. Traffic was light especially down residential streets so children played out in the street quite safely. Dinner would be on the table ready and waiting for the man of the house on his return from work. Housework and the care of children was considered woman’s work so the man would expect the house to be clean and tidy, meal ready, children fed and washed and his clothes all ready for the next day at work. A lot of the filming was around things that I wouldn’t normally involve myself in. I don’t enjoy unkindness,” she said. “I don’t enjoy gossip. I don’t really want it to have any place in my life.

Although Markham disclaims authorship in the preface, he did adapt the recipes to suit current tastes, notably with sweet and sour sauces. The book contains what is probably the first published recipe for Banbury cake. Stanbury, meanwhile, has been open to making a return to reality TV. While she relocated to Dubai, many fans wanted her to take Lisa Vanderpump’s place on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The life of the average married woman in the 1950s and 60s was very different from that of today’s woman. This was the age of respectability and conformity. Very few women worked after getting married; they stayed at home to raise the children and keep house. The man was considered the head of the household in all things; mortgages, legal documents, bank accounts. Only the family allowance was paid directly to the mother. Should a woman find herself in a loveless or violent marriage, she was trapped; she had no money of her own and no career. Based on Oakley’s PhD research, the pioneering feminist book looks at the role of the housewife in modern industrialised society.

The change in behaviour is probably less than the professed attitude — what people say is more egalitarian than what they do.” Men are a privileged group and there is no reason they should give up their privilege unless they are forced to do so.” This is where feminism comes in. “Most of the change in men’s behaviour, I suspect, has come about because the women they are involved with have put pressure on them to change. Men haven’t, en masse, decided that housework is a good thing to do.” Segan, Francine (2011). Shakespeare's Kitchen: Renaissance Recipes for the Contemporary Cook.
