People Going Against Women's Roles in 1950

Many women left college early to marry after the war and other women who did stay were not planning on working toward a job. They were planning on a quiet life after college with their husbands and tending house. In short people were convincing women to get out of jobs or going for one and start living the life of a housewife. More info from: https://1950s.weebly.com/womens-roles.html

Educational opportunities were limited. Many teachers and parents had narrow expectations for girls whose destiny was to be married, have a home and a family, with work just an interim measure between leaving school and walking down the aisle, rather than a career. Just 1.2 per cent of women went to university in the 1950s. this shows how the society though of women as inferior beings and most women just went with that.

Couples in 1950's tend to get married around their late teens to their early 20's and start having a family from there. however the main difficulty women face is that everything for the families behavior is her responsibility. The Wife would be the one responsible for keeping the marriage and making it work even if the husband is abusive or alcoholic. Mainly men go against what their wives do at home and blame them responsible for a broken marriage. Info from: https://psychcentral.com/blog/a-glimpse-into-marriage-advice-from-the-1950s/
