The "Housewives' Protective League," which aired from 1948 to 1962, was a daily CBS radio feature--produced by such esteemed broadcasters as Allen Gray--which during its run explored a variety of issues from childrearing and health to more irreverent topics. "Housewives" was also the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" of the airwaves, regularly pre-testing all its sponsor's products. The majority of the collection are scripts for daily broadcasts of the radio show "The Housewives' Protective League" and its predecessor "Coffee Break."
