With jobs, it seems that women liked their jobs, but felt ok to just leave it if it got in the way of taking care of the family. Some women left their jobs to have children then returned when the children were older. Also, some women went back to school to get an education after they had children. There are still women today that do this. –Ashley Scutari | With jobs, it seems that women liked their jobs, but felt ok to just leave it if it got in the way of taking care of the family.

| + | I thought it was interesting how many of the women did not seem to identify with the women's lib movement. It seems that a lot of women were satisfied with their choices of staying home with their children in a more "traditional" role. I also thought it was interesting that most of the housewives volunteered in some capacity. My mother volunteered at the schools and through church but she would never consider herself an activist, it seems like some others were the same way. It was really interesting to see that a lot of these women lived similar lives in a lot of ways.~~Mary Beth Conrad | ||
