stepfather ['step‚fɑ:ðə(r)]beau-père m (conjoint de la mère)ⓘ The Stepford wives Il s'agit du titre original d'un film américain de 1974 tiré du roman éponyme de Ira Levin (en français Les Femmes de Stepford). Stepford est une petite ville américaine où toutes les femmes semblent trouver l'épanouissement complet dans leur rôle de ménagères et de femmes au foyer; il s'avère par la suite que les hommes se sont débarrassés de leurs épouses et les ont remplacées par des androïdes. On utilise l'expression Stepford wife à propos d'une femme qui semble obsédée par les tâches ménagères ou bien qui a le regard vide.
