Thanks for posting. The world I grew up in in the 60s was still very much like that. (I was nearly laughed out of my second grade class for saying I wanted to be an airline pilot when I grew up!) It's nice that we've made enough progress that things like that are a curiosity.
When my grandmother got married, she was dismissed from her job with the county because her husband was supposed to take care of her. Then my grandfather went to war and she was told she could work there until he came back. He died so she was a single, working mother. One of many, I'm sure.
I always wax nostalgic about the past but then these types of things come up and I remember that we have it pretty good right now. It's not perfect, but it's better.
