Referring the wife as "the little woman" is just as demeaning. I've read
publications from the same era advising 'the little woman' to put on a clean
dress before her hard working husband gets home from work. Also, don't
bother him with your daily household problems. After all he is the man of
the house and should be catered to.

Yeah. I wouldn't have fared well in those days. I spent all day cleaning
out the garage. I put on a clean nightgown and husband will be getting a
cheeseburger when he comes in.
