The Stepford Wives
Though it was written in 1972, when the Women's Liberation Movement was at its height, it is unclear just which side THE STEPFORD WIVES takes in the battle, as this classic thriller takes aim at both feminism and traditional patriarchal mores. The inspiration for two films (the 1975 original starring Katherine Ross and the more loosely adapted 2004 remake with Nicole Kidman) and three made-for-TV movie sequels, the book put the term Stepford wife, meaning a robotically perfect and utterly submissive housewife, into the common vocabulary. Joanna Eberhardt, an aspiring photographer and active supporter of women's lib, has
just moved with her family from New York City to the quiet, charming suburban town of Stepford, Connecticut. Soon, Joanna notices something odd about her neighbors. The immaculately dressed, amazingly sexy women of Stepford are obsessed with cooking, cleaning, and waiting on their husbands hand and foot, to the exclusion of any other interests, although town records show that most of them previously belonged to a now-defunct feminist organization. Why and how did they change? Joanna bands together with two other newcomers, Bobbi and Charmaine, to try and solve the mystery of Stepford before they, too, become just like the other Stepford Wives. As per usual, Levin evokes a mood of slowly heightening tension, injected with just enough skepticism so that the reader wonders if Joanna's fears are merely paranoid fantasies.
