When we see images of #tradwives on social media we see beautiful images of domestic bliss. Young women looking at this content could be easily tricked into believing this is a more aspirational path than getting an education or their own work experience. But the real women who have escaped real tradwife situations paint a very different picture of abuse, submission and control. Today's guest was married and pregnant at eighteen. Her husband forbid her from going to school, getting a job or even buying a kindle so she could read. When she tried to leave it felt impossible because she had none of her own money. Now, as many of us are watching the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives we need to talk about the actual reality.
