Or maybe she's just the right icon.

Reliable birth control was non-existent, abortion was illegal, and daycare was largely unheard of but these weren't the factors that kept women out of the workforce it was societal pressure and their patriotic duty to abandon their jobs for the men!

Good thing feminism saved today's women from having to take lower income jobs in order to meet their children's needs.

Patriotism? Evil men? Naw, it's women's own children's needs and the choices they make in a mate that keeps them from their riviting jobs.
