Hi Michael, I was reading your assignment report and YES!!! HOW YOU MENTIONED during World War II, many women joined the workforce while men were away. After the war, even though 80% of women wanted to keep their jobs, they faced mass firings and were pushed to return to traditional home roles. Media messages promoted these gender roles. This pushback contributed to the second wave of feminism in the 1960s, as women began to question societal norms and their roles. The release of "The Feminine Mystique" raised awareness and dissatisfaction among women. This led to a call for equal pay, access to birth control, and reproductive rights.
