30 years ago women were told they could have it all - be a domestic goddess, angel with the children and whore in the bedroom. Today, nine out of ten women faced with the pressures of juggling work, childcare and running the home, say it is impossible to be a superwoman. However, five families from the village of Banstead, Surrey, have taken part in a social experiment to see if there might be a better way. For one month the women have given up their careers as they strive to become perfect wives. The women agree to live by a set of rules: No nagging, no whingeing, no whining; Make an effort with appearance at all times; Do all the cooking (regular home-cooked meals), cleaning and childcare; and, most importantly, allow that the men will have the final word at all times - woman must obey man, man must rule women. But, how easy will it be for the modern man to turn himself into a male chauvinist pig? How likely is it that modern women will submit to their partner's every last whim? And will giving up work provide women with a better quality of life? Make Me a Perfect Wife throws a searching and amusing light upon the complex ongoing power struggles in contemporary relationships. As Alpha Male goes toe-to-toe with Stepford Wife, there are sure to be tears, arguments, and casualties in this battle of the sexes.
