Can you tell me why women had a low workforce participation in 1950's America?

Women had a low workforce participation in 1950’s America due to the cultural norms and expectations of the time. Societal pressures dictated that women should stay at home and focus on raising the family, rather than being in the workforce. This was further reinforced by the prevailing sexist attitudes and discriminatory labor laws that restricted and excluded women from gaining meaningful employment.
