1978 The Secret Life of a Housewife by Linda Howard. Soft cover. Measures 8 x 5 1/2". 149 Pages. Very good condition but does show age.
This 1978 softcover edition of "The Secret Life of a Housewife" by Linda Howard is a compelling artifact of late-seventies social commentary and literature. Spanning 149 pages and measuring eight by five and a half inches, this volume offers a window into the cultural conversations and domestic narratives of the era. Unlike the mass-market romance novels often associated with this author's later career, this earlier work carries the distinct aesthetic of independent or mid-century publishing, making it a unique addition to a collection of vintage women's literature or social history.
The book is in very good vintage condition, having been well-preserved over the last several decades. While the cover and pages show an honest patina of age—characterized by a slight, natural warming of the paper tones—the spine remains uncreased and the structural integrity is excellent. It possesses a grounded, academic feel that fits perfectly on a curated bookshelf or within a Mid-Century Modern study. This is a soulful find for collectors of 1970s first editions or those interested in the evolving narratives of the Space Age domestic experience.
