The Stepford Wives

by Ira Levin · first published 1972

The Stepford Wives is a 1972 satirical "feminist horror" novel by Ira Levin. The story concerns Joanna Eberhart, a talented photographer, wife, and young mother who suspects that something in the town of Stepford is changing the wives from free-thinking, intelligent women into compliant wives dedicated solely to homemaking. As her friends slowly transform, Joanna realizes the horrific truth. The book has had two feature film adaptations, both using the same title as the novel: the 1975 version and the 2004 remake.
