I'm sorry, I don't know any specifics...
Before that time, during the wartime, females held many more positions, such as nurses, factory workers, clerks, teachers, etc... However, after the war (about 1950's), the male soldiers came back and many women were kicked out of their jobs. There were still some women who got to keep their jobs, but a lot of them were fired. Normally, more younger women stayed in the workforce as clerks and factory workers because they have many years ahead and can work better than kids or older people.
Hope this kind of helped...
