An idealized wife in a patriarchal society. One who solely wants to cook, clean, and wear dresses without any interesting in reading, thinking, or participating in academic circles. A woman who spends her formative years solely learning the arts of homemaking and baking bread; eventually to marry rich and spend the rest of her days doing just that.

Not to be confused with trophy wife.
