The male equivalent is the househusband. Webster's Dictionary defines a housewife as a married woman who is in charge of her household. The British Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary (1901) defines a housewife as "the mistress of a household; a female domestic manager [...]". In British English, a small sewing kit is also sometimes called a huswif,: 115  housewife or hussif.In the Western world, stereotypical gender roles, particularly for women, were challenged by the feminist movement in the latter 20th century to allow women to choose whether to be homemakers or to have a career. Changing economics also increased the prevalence of two-income households.

Examples of Housewives in a Sentence

1. Anne Frank:

   I have often been downcast, but never in despair I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.

2. Ben Oduro:

   I just want to see what the fanfare is all about, that book is a no-no in my world. Being a black male and reading a book where the demographic is more 'Desperate Housewives' or women in general is a ticket to be laughed at.

3. Hoda Kotb:

   It’s not unforgivable but I think it’s going to take some good PR, look, you can’t compare Brian Williams and the ‘Housewives’ but everyone should be forgiven.

4. Cate Meighan:

   I think that perhaps launching new promotional ads that maybe playfully acknowledge that things have radically changed would really be an easy fix, also getting creative with each housewives' official tagline would work. The ladies may be primarily single but that hasn't stopped the fans from tuning in so I don't think that a huge overhaul is necessary.

5. Brandi Glanville:

   I seem to go through guys fairly quickly. I call them 'micro relationships' because as soon as I think something is up I sabotage and leave. I run away. So I thought, you know, 'Why not just go and see if I get anything from this?' i thought about not wanting to put my love life there out on camera, but let’s be clear I did ‘Housewives,’ everything is already out there so why not look for love on camera? What do I have to lose really? Nothing.
