"I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The classic short essay "I Want a Wife" will probably surprise your class. After all, the way Judy Brady presents it, who wouldn't want a wife? After your readers complete the text, present them with this two-page document. Eight questions are posed to encourage a deeper analysis of the text and women's movement it comes from.
