1. In the 1950s, women were treated like second-class citizens and some were living unhappily married because their financial and educational options were limited. Young, newly married couples were encouraged to severe their family ties and put all their emotional and financial eggs in the small basket of the immediate nuclear family.
2. In the 1950s, women were not treated very well, they were told by experts that all their energies should be used for their husbands and children, not aging parents and other relatives. Women couldn't go and chose a normal career of their own nor run for president. The concept of family has changed and sometimes it was for the best, sometimes for the worst. Women are still discriminated against in American society and some of us still do the majority of household work regardless of how many hours we work per week or if we have a house-husband.
3. Since the 1950s, the role of women has evolved, the role of a "real" woman was to have no interest in a higher education or a career and women were taught by experts to pity women who had the nerve to want a life beyond being a wife and mother. But they now have opportunities that would not have been imagined fifty years ago. Children do not have to see their mothers treated badly and we almost had a female President of the United States.
