Housewife
(redirected from housewives)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Housewife
A woman who stays home while her husband works to earn a living. Housewives generally are responsible for cooking, cleaning and child-rearing. For that reason, they form a strong demographic for products related to these activities. Housewives are less common today as women have gradually entered the workforce and more households have two breadwinners. See also: Housewife time.
