Women went back to work en masse in the 1970's....partly as their kids were getting older, and college was coming...partly because cost of living was rising....partly because of the 1970-72 recession, then Carter...the companies began hiring women more and more in the 70's as well, because as you say, they were cheap labor, and cheaper than the new technology that had started to be needed....by the early 80's, the computers and mini-computers were starting to become Mac's and PC's, with Microsoft leading the way toward something called "Software"....More and more women were going to college, and wanting careers. After that, it was Katie Bar The Door.... Then, more and more regulations were starting to fill onion skin sheets of papers in huge volumes of books and housed in multi rooms or buildings....cost of gas rose from $0.29 cents to $0.35 cents/gal....and taxes on EVERYTHING began to rise....and rise.............and rise........ Women in the work force were now a norm, not an exception. So where are we now...40 some years later.....HIGH taxes, Huge amount of regulations, and all the other things BIG Government has foisted on us....Some women want to continue working. Some couples want to raise their children by themselves and not have to pay someone else to do it. Some families who were destitute in the 30's, decided to continue that way of life, with some of their children breaking out of that mold, but not anywhere enough to stop the ghetto living. We are no longer an farming society. Most people don't have enough of their own land to feed and clothe themselves and their families as they did for centuries..... What will our country look like in another few years?
