Deep dives

Understanding the Tradwife Movement

The tradwife movement emphasizes traditional gender roles in marriage, where the husband is the primary breadwinner, and the wife typically manages the home and children. This concept has gained traction on social media platforms, particularly Instagram and TikTok, where women portray idealized versions of this lifestyle. Unlike stay-at-home parents, who actively choose their roles, tradwives often embrace a more submissive stance regarding agency and finances and are sometimes encouraged to forgo education for domestic responsibilities. This movement reflects a yearning for identity and purpose among women, especially in a corporate landscape that can be challenging for mothers.
