Episode 9: Women's Work

  • Summary

  • When looking back at our history, there is a common misconception that women didn’t work until WWII. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Women’s labor has always been an important part of the US economy, whether paid or unpaid. Throughout the decades of the twentieth century, though, the nature of this work changed as the country changed. More opportunities became available, and women’s labor became more diversified. Charlotte Becker takes us through what this transition looked like in Gresham – using personal stories of housewives, teachers, entrepreneurs, and many more.
