In the 1960s, Mormon housewife Helen Andelin countered the second wave feminist movement by preaching family values and urging women not to have careers, but to become good wives, mothers, and homemakers instead. Andelin, who sparked a large movement herself, taught that a woman's true happiness could only be realized if she admired, cared for, and obeyed her husband. In December, many listeners joined our Access Utah conversation with Julie Neuffer prompted by her book "Helen Andelin and the Fascinating Womanhood Movement" It was clear from that discussion that many women are thinking through their roles in today's shifting environment.
One listener suggested that we conduct a follow-up discussion regarding men's roles. Julie Neuffer returns for just such a discussion on Tuesday's AU. We'll also be joined by Sherri and Gerald Mills from Helper, Utah. Sherri is the author of "I Almost Divorced My Husband, But I Went on Strike Instead," and "Marriage 101 for Men." Our guests will also include Jonathan and Loralee Choate from Cache Valley, who have previously appeared on AU to discuss how to handle political differences in marriage.
