I met them in my old neighborhood in a Des Moines suburb. Very Stepfordish, which is one reason my wife didn't fit in with the rest of the "girls."
They were all college educated, upper middle class women with decent if not outright successful careers, and yet many deferred household finance to their husbands, believed in the healing powers of essential oils and chiropractors, and so forth.
Always confused me how they could be middle management at major corporations and yet be that docile at home.
