The only thing that has changed is that Teacher was previously one of the few respectable positions a woman could obtain pre-1950s. That salary was never enough to live alone, it just gave a wife something to commit to other than sitting at home. Teachers made $60 - $70 month in California in the late 1800s. The railroad attendants they were married to? $130 - $140 mo.

Now women have gone on to other more esteemed professions and the ones left behind think they should be paid more (adjusted with inflation) [b]when that was never an objective of the education system or the state governments.[/b]

The days of women doing heavy lifting and other invisible labor behind the scenes for little or no money are over.[/quote]

Really? I think its just begun. The resurgence in the ridiculous pride of being a SAHM hasn't been seen at this levels since the pre-1980s women in the workforce movement. [/quote]
