What was life like for housewives in the 1930's?

It may of been hard because of the great depression[search it on google] and they would have to work hard. In the late 1930's and going into the 1940s many ladies would have been evacuated to a more safe place. Also, they may have been depressed because in the 1930s it was common to be poor and they might of lost their husbands in the war.
