About The Book
While social media celebrates tradwife content and politicians promise a return to "traditional family values," this memoir exposes what those values actually created when men had absolute power over women and children.
In 1952, Colin married Patricia when women couldn't have bank accounts, couldn't leave violent marriages, had no legal recourse against abuse. This is the true story of how he used that power - and the generations of destruction that followed.
Beginning with her husband's calculated suicide - his final act of control - Rebecca Marlor uncovers decades of family secrets: systematic incest, reproductive control, illegal forced abortions, and police who refused to intervene in "family matters." Through one family's devastating story, this memoir reveals the brutal reality behind the 1950s nostalgia flooding our feeds.
This isn't ancient history. As women's rights face unprecedented rollbacks worldwide, we need to remember what we're really fighting to prevent. When we romanticize an era where men ruled their homes with absolute authority, this is the price of that power.

About the Author
Rebecca Marlor brings analytical frameworks to complex social issues while maintaining a deeply personal connection to her subject matter. Drawing from her background in communications strategy and advocacy work, she examines how systems either empower or limit individuals across generations.
Through her memoir "Tradwives and Other Dangerous Fantasies," Rebecca exposes the brutal reality behind romanticized "traditional family values" - providing the counter-narrative needed as tradwife content floods social media and women's rights face unprecedented rollbacks.
Based in Seattle with her husband and their blended family, Rebecca connects patriarchal family structures to contemporary debates about women's rights and autonomy.
