housewifery

My mother lived in a time and place where aspiration beyond housewifery and motherhood was neither expected nor admired.

Mrs. P. My housewifery is but small; but God gave me grace to go to the true church.

Three steadinesses of good womanhood: keeping a steady tongue; a steady chastity; a steady housewifery.

But, with true Maryland housewifery, she must personally see to all the details of the annual flitting.
