The Donna Reed Show: Freeing The Housewife One Episode At A Time
A First for Women
Donna Reed’s character, Donna Stone, was a loving mother, an amazing wife, and a strong central female character. In fact, this was the first sitcom to feature the mother as the central character for a TV show. She was strong, funny, and engaging to watch and many of Reed’s own friends say her character was a mirror of her real life persona.
