Wasn't she also biased against attractive or married women being nurses?

As far as Mountain Man - slight correction. "Women were too cherished to work". As far as I know women have ALWAYS worked...they were merely "too cherished" to get paid for it. And they continue to be the majority performing unpaid work.

everybody always worked. However there was the golden years for a short time there when some families needed only one wage earner and I happened to live in the neighborhoods where this happened. You were -0 to 6yrs when this was going on. It was a time of power-tools for women and science was so incredible that women didn't have to breastfeed anymore. We were raised on formula, which had to be better than human milk because it was the modern age!!!
Don't go gittin yer dander up!

I LOVE dandery women, I was only saying there was no 'slight correction' to be made. caroladybelle was simply unaware of the cultural pheonomenon that I was referring to.

She is quite aware of the Eisenhower years. There were some middle class white women of that era who got to stay home with their Hoovers and cookbooks. One of them ended up writing "The Feminine Mystique."

I'm talking about women being so repressed that the first popular womens sexuality book 'The Sensuous Woman' was authored by 'J'. She couldn't even use her real name! These were times when women would be embarrassed to buy this book in a bookstore they frequented or even in thier own town afraid they would be looked down on. These were awful times.

clean tidy awful times.....a Hershey bar was only a nickel

I hope I'm not sounding 5/4 letter word-y. I'm tiered of this math homework, my eyeballs are falling out, and my head huts, so I am whiney, I just hope I'm not 5/4-y.

Given caroladybelle's numerous insightful posts, I rather doubt she was unaware of anything. Those women you refer to? Of course they were working, just not outside the home. Life was not as peachy-keen for women then as you seem to imply.
