Re: Being a girl in US during 50s

[(Anonymous)]

My maternal grandfather and grandmother similarly met in college at Cornell. She then became a housewife and raised my mother and her siblings while he worked as an engineer. They ended up getting divorced in the 90s after like 40 years of marriage (all the kids out of the house obv) in large part, I think, because my grandmother felt that there was a bunch of shit that she really wanted to do, and that was not at all compatible with my grandfather's plans for their life going forward.

My grandma was kinda rad.

:O what were your grandfather's plans?

I think my granddad would actually have been ok with my grandmommy working because he's always been really laid-back and forward-thinking. I also have heard comments from family members implying that she sort of "wore the pants" not in an absolute way but just in the sense that she had a more outwardly intense personality and he was ok with going along with what she wanted a lot of the time. Their relationship was very harmonious, as far as I've ever been able to tell, and they were just short of being married for 50 years before she died.

I think her not working had a lot more to do with societal expectations (such as, pregnant women were not to be seen in professional environments) than with my granddad. Also, she genuinely really liked being a homemaker, so that probably helped a lot.
