have to write a journal in the place of a 20 yr old woman in 1950 (like where she pic. herself in 20 yrs) help

Answer 1

Oh, my! Does this ring a bell!! I graduated from college in '51. I was an only child living in the country and always had to "go out and help your father!" Not that I disliked that--but the end result is that I hated housework; couldn't cook and never even owned a string of pearls!! That was "de riguere" for a young woman in those days--a Leave it For Beaver world!! I could ride a frisky horse; drive a "true" nail; and chase a pig down in the rain--AND was TOTALLY unfit for the marriage market!! The Korean War--or "conflict" started the summer of '50, I think, and the only jobs for women were usually teacher, social worker, seamstress, secretary--all things that I rejected! Finally, the government advertised for language majors--I had majored in French, so applied. Went to D.C. and worked in an agency just below the CIA--what is now the National Security Agency. Great new world for me!!! I broke out of that sorority-based life and went into the real world!! Never stopped! The '50's had rigid prescribed life for a young woman!! Thank GOD we broke out of it!!

Answer 2

You should probably go off the angle of a woman who is one of the "revolutionaries" in that she wants a career and not the traditional family life only. Talk about her disliking the role of women and what she would like to do as a career like writing(which is probably the best one to write on)
