MISOGYNY FROM THE 1950’S TO TODAY – BY ELLIN CURLEY

SERENDIPITY: SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH

I was a child in the 1950’s and a teenager in the 1960’s. So I should be well versed in the misogynistic attitudes that were, and in some ways still are, ingrained in the American psyche.

Not just a working woman, but a professional doctor, lawyer, psychologist, or whatever. I apparently missed the sexism and marginalization of women as well as the excessive empowerment of men.
