Wow, thanks, Alice. I haven't seen parts 5 and 6 of the "Frontier House" series yet (my local PBS station is rerunning it – those episodes air tomorrow!), but based on the first 4 parts, I didn't think Mark Glenn was going to stay in that marriage.

IMO (again based on the first 4 parts only), Karen Glenn left the trappings of the 21st century behind when she joined the "Frontier House" project, but she didn't leave her attitude behind long enough to even try to role-play as a wife with 1880's attitude. I remember that, at one point, Karen Glenn said that something-or-other that she was doing was "the Christian thing" to do... and yet, a Christian woman of the late nineteenth century would have been expected to be obedient and submissive to her husband, instead of publicly debasing him as Karen did.
