I don't think feminism ruined America. > I thought it was WW2 and the lack of men to do the jobs they usually would. I thought it was common to teach that women's employment rose with second-wave feminism in the 1960s. My background knowledge: after WW2 ended, women were fired and replaced with men. The average age of marriage dropped, and the portion of women attending college descreased. Housewives were increasingly dissatisfied, which drew them to the second-wave feminist movement. This is why the book The Feminine Mystique sold well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feminine_Mystique https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feminine_Mystique
