I thought it might be a good time for a little history lesson field trip

It was touch on earlier, how the attitude towards women of the 50s was in many ways a backlash to the independence and power that women held in the 40s. I was doing a little research on this today and found some fun videos that show the transition from women in the work force during the war, to how they were viewed by men when they came home from war and the women still wanted to work.

Starting with a rather cheesy but telling portrayal of how women's work was valued, respected, and needed in the 40s


Then an interesting radio interview with an unmarried woman who wanted to continue on her career path post WWII:


And then, the short film, The Trouble with Women. Which is interesting because it shows the direct management attitude that I'm sure most women face when remaining in the work force, but also his rather radical supervisor who is standing up for the women...
