Lesson: The Tradwife

The ‘tradwife’ trend, which stands for ‘traditional wife,’ seems to be a growing movement where some women choose to follow more traditional roles in marriage and family life. Many look to the 1950s or earlier for inspiration, focusing on homemaking, raising children, and supporting their husbands. The trend has gained popularity on social media, where women discuss their daily lives and share their perspectives on traditional femininity. Supporters argue that this lifestyle provides women the freedom to step away from the pressure to build a career and instead focus on their home and family. On the other hand, critics warn that it can make old-fashioned gender roles seem appealing and ignore the limits these roles once placed on women. The tradwife trend has started conversations about gender, personal choice, and how people find meaning in their lives.
