 * Women back then in the 1950's did not have it as easy as us women now have it today. They were only limited to certain jobs,

and were only limited to be knows as wives, Secretary, or nursing. Not that high class of jobs, such as cooking, cleaning, taking

care of children, and having children, they had a very low status.Women started to work after Pearl Harbor was bombed and

the entry of World War II began.

Lack of male work force in to the service gave women a feel about what it was like to work as professionals and factory workers.

Working became almost like a duty for most women. Jobs at the factory were taken so that the men could be allowed to go fight, and protect America.

When the men had come back from the war, the women returned back home. Women found themselves liking these new

opportunities of working and found themselves isolated from it.Women were obviously not thought of as that important to

anyone. But as they continued to work for the men, they felt a power where they knew they were worth something.** [[http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/20363/a_place_in_the_sun_america_in_the_1950s.html http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/09/19/1032054912138.html
