How did society view of the role of women in th 1950's?

The women in the 1950s were viewed by society as a wife that stayed home, cleaned the house, washed the children, and cooked for the family. They were taught to be everything the man in the house wanted her to be. The women in the 1950s were taught "how to be a good wife" from a home economics textbook in the 1950s. Women were not supposed to hold jobs. They were also meant to hold a spot on their children's PTA board.
