Published in 1973, “The Total Woman” by Marabel Morgan became a controversial yet influential book that offered a traditionalist perspective on gender roles within marriage. Morgan advocated for wives to embrace a submissive and obedient role, focusing on fulfilling their husbands’ needs and desires. The book sparked intense debates around feminism, domesticity, and the changing dynamics of the American family during the 1970s. Despite its polarizing nature, it resonated with many conservative Christian readers and sold over 10 million copies. This well-worn copy bears the marks of its popularity, with a creased cover and binding, yet its intact pages invite readers to explore a work that challenged prevailing attitudes toward women’s liberation. For collectors and readers interested in the cultural shifts of the era, this book offers a window into the backlash against second-wave feminism and the enduring appeal of traditional gender roles for some segments of society.
