I think it’s always important in these conversations to remember well-off white women kept house and didn’t work. Poor women regardless of their backgrounds always worked. That’s be like people 75 years from now talking about the lifestyles of rich influencers as if we all live like that. Women didn’t fight for the right to work. We fought, and still fight, for our dignity and a fair equitable place in society.
(And never forget even those well-off women of yesteryear couldn’t divorce their husbands, couldn’t have a bank account, would have their medical decisions overridden by their husband/male relatives - if they were told about their own health at all, could be FUCKING LOBOTOMIZED if they “acted out” or read too many books. And some-crazy-how were still worlds better off then poor women. The past is the absolute worst.)
