domestic goddess
Ideal housewife archetype
A domestic goddess is a woman celebrated for her exceptional homemaking skills—cooking, decorating, entertaining, and managing a household with apparent effortlessness and flair.
The term gained wide currency through lifestyle media personality Nigella Lawson and similar figures who glamorized domestic arts.
It can be used admiringly or ironically: She's a domestic goddess who makes everything from scratch or I'm no domestic goddess—we're ordering pizza.
The phrase playfully elevates traditional housework to something aspirational.
