As long as you agree about "most women", as opposed to the "all women"
that I did not write.

My mother was a homemaker. All my friend's mothers where homemakers. In
fact, the "work outside of the home" thing was not used back then
because women either worked or were homemakers who stayed home and
looked after the kids and did all those housework chores that took so
much more time than they do now, and they usually had more kids to look
after than mothers today. Back then, married women sometimes worked
only until they started having children, or else if their husbands did
not earn enough to support them. I had an who was divorced and lived
with my grandparents. She worked and my grandparents looked after her
son. I had another aunt who owned her own business. She and my uncle
had careers instead of children.
