Why does a woman still want to be a wife in the twenty-first century? What is the value of marriage today? Why do couples still marry in church?
These are some of the questions Margaret Forster asks in her new book, as she weaves the personal experience of forty years, and the experiences of her own mother and grandmother, through the stories of three wives who have long fascinated her: Mary Livingstone, Fanny Osbourne and Jenny Lee.
Margaret joins Martha to talk about Good Wives?
Good Wives? Mary, Fanny, Jennie and me, 1845-2001 (Chatto and Windus, ISBN: 0701169141, £17.99)
