[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch was a rural public defender and he had a live in maid and cook. That wasn't unusual in the South before the war. There weren't many job options for black women. But then with WWII, men went away and the US ramped up production of many things to support the war effort, so better-paying factory and shipyard jobs, some of which were unionized, opened up and these women often left domestic work to take these jobs. [/quote] He was also a widow and woukd have needed someone to take care of all the domestic duties.[/quote]
