Women's Roles in 1950s


Women's roles in the 1950s were to get married and have children.It was a norm for women to get married right after high school or in college. There was a stereotype that said that women went to college to get a M.R.S degree. Which meant to find a husband. If a woman wasen't married or engaged by the age of 20 she was considered to be an "old maids". If women were single moms they would be sent away since people considered it unacceptable and had to drop of school. If a women work to get extra money they would be considered selfish because they put themselves first instead of family. Women were supposed to stay home and taking care of the house and kids.
