Amelia Aerhart, Madame Curie, Nellie Ross (WY Gov. 1925), just for three quick examples.
Women have been able to choose what they do for a long time. They had to want to, they had to be good.
Now, not so much. Our whole economy is predicated on the two-breadwinner family, and has been since the 80s, at least. Either the husband makes danged good money so his wife can raise children (or vice-versa), or both have to work in order to enjoy a decent standard of living.
What feminism has done for women it has done to women, namely made them into workers whether they want ed to be or not.
Let me note here, as a preemptive measure, that I understand that a housewife who runs a tight ship does an incredible variety of tasks, puts in long hours, and works hard.
Now that workload is there in addition to whatever they do for a paycheck, especially if children are involved.
The sad part is that the other end result is an increase in the influence of the organs of the State over children. Rather than get the nurturing and education that having mom at home would have provided, they get it piecemeal at school, daycare, etc. or not at all.
The amount of real quality parent/child time is cut tremendously when both parents work because the kids get farmed out.
America's economy has done a remarkable job of absorbing a workforce doubling, but it covered for overspending and led to many other economic phenomena that are hurting many and still requiring adjustment toward quasi-equilibrium.
