There was a certain war, married woman could not choose to work, drug abuse was escalating, formal segregation was in existence, atomic bombs were being tested everywhere.

The past is always better when not examined.

@Zeusdelight [quote]married woman could not choose to work[/quote]What? Where and when?

I believe modern people would find some aspects of past lifestyles more agreeable, and others less so, than the way we live now.

@Really In the 1960's in Australia if a female in Government employ and even some Private companies got married, she had to resign.

@Zeusdelight Yes there have been (still are?) employment prohibitions for married people in a number of fields and countries, maybe with varying degrees of rationality. History of the RCMP comes to mind. I don't know of a time & place though, where no married woman could choose to work.

@Really In that era, whist there may not have been a legislative prohibition for married women, there was a practical prohibition.
