"Don't pose as a weak little thing that cannot go on a journey unless your husband buys your ticket and puts you on the train. Wives who do this got out-of-date while Queen Victoria was alive. And a woman who still persists in being femininely frail has few admirers, to-day. Of course, if a wife asks her husband to come and see her off because she enjoys his company, that's quite another thing." — 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. .
