The Lessons of “The Stepford Wives”
The Stepford Wives,” the remake of the 1975 sci-fi comedy thriller about men who turn their wives into creepily perfect Martha Stewart robots, debuted at a surprisingly strong 4th place in its first weekend at the box office, raking in $22 million. The film stars Nicole Kidman as a deposed television network executive who is transplanted to a picturesque Connecticut town full of re-programmed wives.
Although the original story was written 30 years ago, Maryland resident Susan Reimer says she it still speaks to women in 2004. In this radio diary, Reimer shares the lessons “The Stepford Wives” offers 21st century women struggling to balance career and family.
