Yeah, good point, you're right. And in the working-class world, women worked all through the 50s and afterwards-- in families where they need every penny to stay afloat, women have always worked, like everyone else. But I believe that women were traditionally paid less, on the theory that their work wasn't what was supporting the family? And there's that whole difference in class-- working-class people work to survive, middle-class people work because that's how they get status and authority. And so middle-class women had to struggle to be allowed to work, where working-class women never had the choice not to. Neh?
