Global InformationTradwife information
A tradwife (a neologism for traditional wife or traditional housewife),[1][2][3] in recent Western culture, typically denotes a woman who believes in and practices patriarchal sex roles and marriages. Many tradwives believe that they do not sacrifice women's rights by choosing to take a homemaking role within their marriage.[2] Some may choose to leave careers to focus instead on assuming the father's half of unpaid family work.[2][4]
The patriarchal housewife aesthetic has since spread throughout the Internet in part through social media featuring women extolling the virtues of behaving as the ideal woman.[5]
