Goodwife, usually abbreviated Goody, is a courtesy title of married women, formerly used where Missus (Mrs.) would be used today. Its male counterpart is Goodman.
The terms were popular at least in Puritan New England: they are the forms of address used in Arthur Miller's historical fiction The Crucible, and Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a famous short story entitled Young Goodman Brown.
