A vintage-style graphic with an off-white, speckled background displays a centered quote in black serif font: “I want a wife who is a good nurturant attendant to my children… takes them to the park, the zoo, etc.” The quote is followed by the attribution: “— Judy Brady, 1971.” The layout is clean and classic, with a nostalgic feel that echoes archival materials.
💐 Judy Brady’s 1971 essay reminds us just how much “wife” has historically meant.
Labor, love, logistics, legacy.
Today, we honor the real work behind the role.

A black-and-white photo of two women sitting on the floor in a room with patterned wallpaper. The woman on the left, with dark curly hair, is wearing a light-colored dress and is holding a baby in a white sleeper. The woman on the right, also with dark curly hair, is wearing a checkered dress and holding a baby who is drinking from a bottle. In the background, framed photos hang on the wall, along with a calendar for June. A curtained window is visible behind the woman on the right. Text overlay reads: "I want a wife who arranges for their schooling, makes sure they have an adequate social life...."
Alice again with her sister, Ella May, and their boys, Jimmy and Bobby, in Bellaire, MI, 1953.

A black-and-white photo of a woman sitting on a wooden porch, holding a baby on her lap. The woman has a serious expression and is wearing a striped dress. The baby, who is also looking away, wears a light-colored hat and a dark jacket with a square buckle. To the right, a young child with light hair is partially visible, also looking away from the camera. A rocking chair and an American flag are in the background. Text overlay reads: "I want a wife who will take care of the children when they are sick..."

A black-and-white 1962 photo of four generations of women and children sitting on a couch. From left to right: an elderly woman in a patterned dress holds a baby wrapped in a blanket. Next to her, a young woman with a bob haircut wears a sleeveless, dark floral dress. Beside her, another woman in a patterned blouse holds a baby wearing a light-colored dress and looking away from the camera. On the far right, a fourth woman with a pixie cut holds a young child in a light-colored shirt who is looking at the camera. Text overlay reads: "I want a wife who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended."
4 generations - my mom, her sister, and their kids, mom, and grandma in Mt Clemens, MI, 1962.

A black-and-white photo of a woman standing in a kitchen near a large kitchen sink. She has her hand on the edge of the sink and is looking toward the camera. Behind her is a window with sheer curtains and an open cabinet revealing dishes. A vintage telephone sits on the counter to her right. In the foreground, a table with a checkered tablecloth holds a few items. Text overlay reads: "I want a wife to keep track of the children's doctor and dentist appointments..."
My maternal grandma, Dorothy, standing in her kitchen in Mount Clemens, MI, about 1959.

A textured off-white background resembling aged paper features a centered quote in black serif font: “I want a wife who will work and send me to school… take care of the children… lose time at work and not lose the job.” Below the quote, in smaller font, is the attribution: “— Judy Brady, 1971.” The design is minimal and vintage-inspired, evoking the tone of a historical document.
From bobs to nobbins, wives keep everything running.

Okay, this is it: Final revision of final line ... I hope:
On September’s third Sunday it’s wise
To appreciate wives. They’re a prize

They give so much pleasure.
