Only one woman, Charmaine, who is open to the idea. Bobbie and Joanna decide to go around the neighborhood asking if the local women want to start a female equivalent of the Men’s Association, but they all say they’re either too busy with housework or they simply aren’t interested. Though Dave has also joined the Men’s Association, Bobbie suggests that he also thinks Stepford is behind the times when it comes to gender equality. Bobbie and her husband, Dave, are also new to Stepford. Joanna thought he agreed that all-male clubs are outdated and sexist, but he promises to change the organization from the inside.Īfter trying and failing to connect with the women in Stepford, Joanna meets Bobbie, who-like her-is perplexed by how cold and strange their neighbors are. Joanna is surprised, then, when Walter announces that he’ll be joining the local Men’s Association. Walter is also quite involved in the feminist movement. Joanna is a member of the National Organization for Women, and she’s used to spending time with likeminded feminists. The houses here are beautiful, but the women who live here are all old-fashioned and emotionally distant, and they only seem to care housework and pleasing their husbands. Joanna Eberhart has just moved from New York City to the suburban town of Stepford with her husband, Walter, and their two kids.
