During the 1940s – 1950s, women were believed to stay at home – their basic responsibilities included cleaning, cooking, looking after their husband and raising kids. Men were to work and women, to stay at home as typical housewives. It was only during the WWII when they start to work as nurses in hospitals, as female laborers in factories or as teachers in schools. However, after the war was over women began to realize that they were more than just house makers or secretaries!
