It's actually pretty accurate, and that sexism was a root cause for the feminist movement. Once women started working thanks to WWII, they didn't want to give up the freedom once the war ended, and the idea that a woman's place was in the home was very much in place. Also, that boarding place she stays at in the second episode? Actually a common thing in big cities, so that young women could live somewhere and remain "chaste." /likes history

My grandmother, for reference, was a seamstress. She tried to open her own business but was shut down because it was assumed men wouldn't go to her, because they'd have tailors instead. She used to teach night classes as a result.
