I personally feel that there is a very grey area between halachah and hashkafah. I beleive that a Jewish woman IS essentially a slave to her husband, and her home. Her main tafkid in life is to raise her family and see that her husband is happy (and those include maintaining a pleseant atmosphere, a clean home, proper meals, laundry, etc.). I strive, yet I am sure that I am not the only one who is at least a little resentful at times. Being brought up in modern society where women are considered more than just a domestic, it is very hard, but I do beleive that b’derech haTorah it is right.
