  The New Wives Club

  I am not sure I agree with the implication of the last sentence of your article. Having lived in the US, as well as elsewhere, I don't agree that it is "abroad" where many women are "caught in the Betty Draper mould".  Largely, I think, due to the comparatively dismal work/life balance initiatives in most American paid work contexts, my experience of living there was that many more women there than elsewhere in the developed world are still trapped in the divided and stifling roles presented by the characters of "Mad Men" because the workforce is not made compatible with the lives of adult women. Paid maternity leaves would help change this.
