: You must still be puzzling at the connection between female employment in industrial sector during WW II and the subsequent rise of the feminist movement. Or am I in error to see an association between the two?

Let's only leave out the 1950s and 1960s, Doc.

The 'feminist movement' was the result of the Recession of 1973---in which the proletariat's wage lost ground, thus necessiating the TWO-PAYCHECK family for the first time since the early 1900s.
