Yeah she did sort of take a back seat to the men but I guess that is the way it was back then. But, every now and then I think, my goodness she didn't go shopping with a friend or talk on the phone or anything. How lonely is that? I would go insane as much as I love my husband a woman needs to have her friends just as much as man needs his buddies. Another thought, in the later years she had to have been going through menopause, so what man is going to get that? But out of all the men out there I say Ward would have been the most loving and supportive, at least from that era where " a woman's place is in the home" kind of world. I must add too that Ward did a great job of taking her out every now and then even if it was just the drugstore. He was so sweet about the little things.
