"Husbands are not terribly difficult to manage. Certainly, they are not nearly as difficult as they imagine in their own hearts. If your husband is of the awkward class, you either picked a bad one or you don't know the elementary rules of 'husband management'." — From a 1930's guide to marriage, How to be a Good Wife, originally aimed at middle class British couples; now being reprinted by the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford and distributed by the University of Chicago Press. .
