The seeds were planted for change during the war and but did not sprout until much later. We agree on the later, here is why I say "much". Rosey the Rivetter was (with only a few exceptions) much happier at home rearing kids and making dinner for hubby. And that is exactly where she went as soon as it was possible. Familly planning began to mainstream (with the resistance of the Catholic church) in the 60's. That mainstreaming was mostly complete by the 70's, but for the workplace the effects were (and still are) gradual.

However, even imposing a 60's set of mores on a film set in WWII would be incorrect, much less 2000+ mores. Which was my point.
