The American mother got lost because she had to go to work. I don't think feminism had as much to do with it as the economy. At least feminism helped make wages for the mothers better.

Most mothers do not NEED to go to work. It's a choice. People now are much better off, materially, now than they were 50 years ago. The economy has not forced mothers to go to work.

At least feminism helped make wages for the mothers better.
Please explain how feminism has done this.

It was taxes. Until recently, most american families paid little or no income taxes, and social security was less than $200 a year - max.

Today, the average family pays more in taxes, than food, clothing, and housing, combined!

If you are not a coward, go back and find out exactly how little your family actually paid in all taxes in 1950, and compare it to your family today.

Women are working to pay the family taxes.
