–noun
1.a married woman who manages her own household, esp. as her principal occupation.
2.British. a sewing box; a small case or box for needles, thread, etc.

3.Archaic. to manage with efficiency and economy, as a household.
[Origin: 1175–1225; ME hus(e)wif. See house, wife]

—Usage note 1. Housewife is offensive to some, perhaps because of an implied contrast with career woman (just a housewife) and perhaps because it defines an occupation in terms of a woman's relation to a man. Homemaker is a common substitute.
