Help Me I.D. A Book:

I was out of town this past weekend, and while shopping saw a book that looked interesting. I passed on it, and now of course I've decided I have to have it. Trouble is, I can't remember the title, which is making ordering the book a little difficult.

The book was a look at women's place in society in the 1950s (mostly the kitchen & the home), and how things have changed since then. It was illustrated with cool retro ads from the 50s, similar to the Taschen All-American Ads books. I think the title was something about Women in the kitchen, or women in suburbia, or something like that.

Anyone have any ideas as to the title?

Thanks, but no. The one I'm looking for wasn't really an essay on the topic. There was little or no text in it. It was mainly a collection of old kitchen & laundry soap ads from the 1950s. I wanted the book because I'm a fan of ads from that period.
