Judy Brady wants people to realize what wives go through. Most wives will do anything for their husbands and get little to no recognition for it. You can tell this is the point she is trying to get across because the whole story is emphasizing what a wife does. All the tasks and chores that get done thanks to the wife. The language the author uses is rather ironic seeing as how most of the tasks she lists are probably done by her. SHE is the one that makes sure everything gets done. Her tone is perhaps longing? At least that is the tone she portrays. I know that really she is just trying to get the audience to see how good it is to have a wife that gets everything done. This story could be considered feminist by many people, but I look at it more along the lines of the author just wants women to be appreciated more often for what they do.
