Really? Until recently it was unheard of for thehousewifeto have a job outside of the house. The woman's job was to cook, clean, wash, etc and prepare and keep house. And when women married, (even got engaged) they were expected to give up their job if they worked ie typist/receptionist/telephone exchange operator/secretary etc. In fact, it was really only the middle and upper class women who were 'allowed' to retain their jobs and work outside the home. Working class women never had that opportunity, they were expected to 'keep house'. This is basic History and Sociology.
Lol not where I come from its not. But hey if its not taught in schools it mustn't be true. My grandma had 11 kids and worked outside of the home until she was 70. Maybe she was the only one in the world to do that? 🤔
"A marriage bar is the practice of restricting the employment of married women.[1] Common in Western countries throughout the 1900s, the practice often called for the termination of the employment of a woman on her marriage, especially in teaching and clerical occupations. Further, widowed women with children were still considered to be married at times, preventing them from being hired, as well.[2][3][4]
The practice lacked an economic justification, and its rigid application was often disruptive to workplaces. The practice was common in some Western countries, such as the United States and Ireland, from the late 19th century to the 1970s.[5] Marriage bars were widely relaxed in wartime, however, due to an increase in the demand for labor.
Since the 1960s, the practice has widely been regarded as employment inequality and sexual discrimination, and has been either discontinued or outlawed by anti-discrimination laws. In the Netherlands, the marriage bar was removed in 1957,[6][7][8] and in Ireland it was removed in 1973.[9][10] Since 1975, female officers of the British Geological Survey no longer have to resign upon getting married.[11]"
