I thought that when people turned nostalgic for the time of a real and coherent society it was the 1950s they were thinking about. Truman was president for two years of that decade, but he ended his term with the U.S. mired in a war in Korea. Ike pulled our chestnuts out of the fire and our servicemen and women fought to secure the best result we could out of that debacle.
most women in the early 50's who worked were either a teacher, a nurse or a secretary. maybe worked in a dept. store. there were far less options for women then there are today. as was mentioned she couldn't of been a police officer, a fire fighter or many other jobs that are so common place today
Me to and I grew up when those things were the norm. The transformation that has happened to this country is disgusting. It all started when Teddy Kennedy open the floodgates to every third world person that could get here. Today, was the icing on the cake. I was playing poker today and was surrounded by some Asians all talking very loudly, laughing constantly about nothing and repeating everything they said over and over. Then they started to fight loudly with one another and then with the dealer. Is this a cultural thing? They were irritating everyone else at the table. Myself and a couple of others just up and left.
Ah. Well my mother was a woman back then. She worked until she had kids. Stopped until we were all in school and then went back to work.
Office job.
Plenty of women worked, plenty of kids worked too.
I think you are missing the point here. No one said women didn't work, but the type of work they had was limited. Your Mother had a stereotypical job for women at that time. My Grandmother did the same thing. She couldn't get the same jobs as her husband though even though she was far more qualified.

My aunt was a bank manger. Another aunt worked at AT&T.
My mother worked in insurance.

what years? yes some women were able to find work as mentioned there were some jobs we were given the opportunity. however on the whole we didn't have much choice available to us until the 60s and well into the 70s. most women didn't even go to college back then either. did some yes, that too also changed, thankfully
We do? I must have skipped over that page in the handbook.
At least you admit that there is a leftist handbook. There are at least two of them: The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. There is another called After the Ball which is a blueprint for how the homosexual movement has achieved success in the U.S.

FYI...
The most common job for women is the same as it was in 1950
And yet, despite how different America may seem on so many levels from the 1950s, one thing remains (perhaps surprisingly) the same. The most common job for American women is — drum roll, please — secretary.
In fact, according to the U.S. Census, the top five jobs for women in 2010 changed very little from 1950. Back in the '50s, women most commonly held positions as secretaries, bank tellers or clerical workers, sales clerks, private household workers and teachers. And in 2010? The top five jobs include secretary holding out at No. 1, then cashier, elementary and middle school teacher, nurse and nursing aide.
