Critique of the social position of women in the 1940s as housewives and their drudgery: housework, childcare, etc. "It's a book for all females distracted by dishes, children, housework, husbands. And it's for all males who don't know about the revolution brewing in their own kitchens (to say nothing of upstairs!). Miss Hawes airs the dilemma of war-working and all working wives and mothers."
