Answer 1

The correct answer is: b) women were encouraged to quit their jobs and return to their lives managing their homes.

After World War II, there was a significant societal push in the United States for women to leave the workforce and return to traditional domestic roles as homemakers and caregivers. This shift was influenced by various factors, including cultural ideals of femininity and the desire to support returning servicemen in their reintegration into civilian life.
