A fairly consistent movement continued on in the next few
decades until to the fifties, where women were primped, and propped back down
into their place a bit with the return of troops from the war. With Eisenhower
as President during most of the fifties at the conclusions of the World Wars,
women were no longer necessitated for their factory work as they had previously
been temporarily. Although many of them saw the opportunity to step up and hold
importance in the workforce of America as an “advancement” to their place in
society, it was not so steadily maintained with the return of their husbands.
To encourage their return home was the baby boom, which brought new mother’s
back home. The Nuclear Family was ideal at this time.
Many people say this was just a perfect time in American
history where the economy was stable, family was glorified, crime rates were
low, and life was enjoyment-centered. With more women who worked before now
returned to homes than remaining at their jobs, this was a fairly conservative
era with the classic American way at its finest. Despite this the case, the
revolution continued and women broke back out of the primitive way that their
parents lived before them and which they lived before the wars. Since then,
women have continued to work outside the home more and more, have fewer
children, and act less and less as the dainty figure which comes as a
connotation with women both socially and by nature.
