This post reminds me of a book, "Roughing It in the Suburbs," by Valerie
Korinek. It's focus is Canadian, but the period is right, 1950s and 1960s.
Valerie looked at Chatelaine magazine, which is sort of Canada's Red Book. I
think her focus was on sly subversions but it might still be of interest. She
was on my M.A. committee at the University of Saskatchewan and be reached via
the History Dept there.

  I've been thinking this one over and I would suspect that the vast
majority of women were much more likely to get this sort of guidance
from women's magazines, rather than actual book-length volumes.
