Now that women have solidly earned their place in the workforce, many find themselves still yearning for something men often have: wives.
"The thing I most want in life is a wife. I'm not kidding," said Joyce Lustbader, a research scientist at Columbia University, who has been married for 29 years. "I work all day, sometimes seven days a week, and still have to go home and make dinner and have all those things to do around the house."
Lyn Cox, managing partner at Vaco Resources, an Irvine staffing company, and mother of three, agreed. "I could use (a wife) for just about everything: logistics, waiting for repair people, shopping, organizing, moving children around."
