The Effect of Feminism on Chivalry II


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.
