Woman's place in the home- wife and mother
The role of women in the 1950 was repressive and constrictive in many ways. Society placed high importance and many expectations on behavior at home as well as in public.

A wife was a "good" wife only if she carried out her man's every order and agreed with him on everything.

Woman's place in the home- wife and mother
Women were expected to be caring mothers, diligent spouses, obedient partners, and good wives. They were expected to carry out their man's every order and agree with him on everything. A good wife always knew her place. Prepare the children by washing their hands and faces, comb their hair, changed their clothes if needed. Wives were intended to touch up their makeup, maybe put a bow in their hair, and always so to be happy and interested. Wives house chores consisted of clearing away clutter in the house, and run a dust cloth over the table. These were essentials to be seen as a good housewife in society.
Although women were expected to identify primarily as wives and mothers and to eschew work outside of the home, women continued to make up a significant proportion of the postwar labor force. Moreover, the 1950s witnessed significant changes in patterns of sexual behavior, which would ultimately lead to the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
Gender roles in the 1950s were intimately connected to the Cold War. The term nuclear family emerged to describe and encourage the stability of the family as the essential building block of a strong and healthy society. In this view, a woman played a crucial role in waging the Cold War, by keeping the family unit strong and intact. She could do this best, it was thought, by remaining at home to take care of her husband and children, and refusing to pursue a career.
Advertisements often times showed smiling women with their arms loaded with cooked food, or a women cleaning house and looking happy and content with looking after their children. These were dedicated housewives whose only goal in life was to meet the pleasures of their husband and children. Society believed women should fit this role and it should be the goal for women in the 1950s.
