"I really was that woman. I was the original fucking tradwife, she told the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, embellishing later, in an interview for the New York Times (marking the reissue of her 1982 cookbook, Entertaining): And I was just as pretty as those girls, and more organised. I suppose she's not wrong she was already combining the homemaking, empire-building and self-promotional elements that characterise tradwifery 40 years ago"
"From her partnership with a marijuana producer to her thirst trap Instagram pics in her pool, to the menu suggestions in Entertaining (omelette supper for thirty, anyone? I suppose she does have lots of eggs), she is entirely and unapologetically her hard-nosed, opinionated, exacting self. You wouldn't catch Stewart submitting to her husband, tradwife style (she's single anyway, and, she explained, once dumped Anthony Hopkins because Hannibal Lecter freaked her out)."
Martha Stewart combines meticulous domestic skill, entrepreneurial ambition, and self-promotion established decades ago. She identifies with tradwife aesthetics while rejecting humility and concern for offending others. Her priorities include precise table aesthetics, rare geese welfare, and teaching practical culinary tasks like preparing pomegranate seeds. Branding choices span partnerships with a marijuana producer, confident Instagram pool images, and extravagant menu recommendations such as an omelette supper for thirty. She maintains rigorous routines, reportedly rising around 4–4:30 a.m. to read the full New York Times. Her persona is simultaneously admired for competence and deemed too intense for personal emulation.
