Confused as to why the 1950s was chosen and only for women?
OP do you not know much of this decade? Many people in retirement homes speak quite fondly of the time period.
Yes! Especially if I knew what I know now and could jump on all the emerging stuff of the future first Even without that knowledge it wouldn't be hard since I wouldn't know any different.
will successful candidate be kept current on what is going on in time period they will be returning to???? We all have an idea now of what the 50s were like, but no idea what 5 years forward will be
The one big smudge on that period, as I recall, is the Cold War, and the fear that the US would be the target of nuclear bomb strike from Russia.
It didn't seem to bother my relatives. They did the same things they always did... worked, went to the movies, went bowling, went to restaurants, socialized, etc.
Modern terrorism, which actually has happened, is more of a threat than during the Cold War years.
