In this country, the surge for the recent feminist movement came after our World Wars. Women who had been doing the heavy lifting and the nurturing while men and women fought abroad, were suddenly thrust out of the workforce and decision-making process and back into the kitchen, so to speak.
The 50s brought nostalgia to many, but discomfort to many others.
So..in a way Larson is correct, when women have time for comfort after they knew that they could do a man's work, they started a movement to decry that this scenario is not right.
The same sort of thing happened in ancient societies, wherein women held equal power or more power than men did...until a monotheism, such as Christianity, came along to straighten them out. The patriarchy of The Church could not allow women to have power and so began the strike against the daughters of Eve.
So...Larson is correct again when she contends that religions helped to set gender roles in more advanced societies.
gotta run, will be back
