The Well-Read Wife

This morning I stumbled across a blog called The Well-Read Wife.  It basically looks like a small book review blog. 
What got my attention (and, obviously, got me thinking) was that the site's title basically identifies the author in a traditional woman's role.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  Of all the things to think of one's self as, being something of another's seems strange.  Haven't women spent enough time being someone else's and not their own? 
She is reading Cassandra Clare, and, back before she was a well-loved children's author, I read her too, so it is hard for me to hate on her.  And I do like the author's (the well-read wife's?) observation about the Millennium Wheel being so Victorian.  So I guess it isn't all bad.
