You could call my friends and me “tradwives.” I have three kids with one on the way, I quit my government job to stay home with them, and I like to make homemade meals. As a conservative woman, I’ve found myself surrounded by many women who fit the description of tradwives and who hold that culture in high esteem.
For the last couple of years, the tradwife lifestyle, which promotes traditional family values and homemaking with an emphasis on all things homemade, has dominated conservative circles. Homesteading is no longer a term only found in history books. Sourdough bread became synonymous with housewife prestige. Milkmaid dresses and the sundress aesthetic defined conservative fashion — they even spilled over into mainstream fashion — and the “trad catholic” movement almost promised to be the next great cultural reset.
