When Housewives (and others) Are Desperate
The main theme of the year’s biggest TV hit - Desperate Housewives - is that despite their beautiful clothes, perfect bodies, and high-end lifestyles, the women who live on Wisteria Lane are miserable. They struggle to find happiness by achieving a set of impossible social standards for women.
