Women Were Shamed More For Divorce Than Men in The 50's

During the 1950's women got married way early in life and went into wife life the rest of their lifespans.

At least most of the women did and even though it was frowned upon some couples got divorced.

Many people who did separate were considered a disgrace but mostly went after women for not maintaining the relationship than the men.

If a man got married again, they supported them but for women it was not always the case.

The statistics from back in the 50's of couples who got divorces were in the medium percentage of everyone in the United States.

It is said, that women felt immense pressure to focus their goals on getting married and having a nice wedding ring.

These aspirations did not focus on whether the husband would be a good and unchanged man in the future or if he would leave you for another woman.

This was all about the fairytale of having love and looking so happy and successful on the outside.

In the 1950's, the marriages in the U.S. were rated so high and couples were getting engaged and married within their teen years.

It was considered normal for women and men to marry at this age as it was socially acceptable and people's lifespans were only in the 50's and 60's at the time.

Marilyn Monroe Mask 50s

This is a stunning Marilyn mask for those who love the 1950’s! The mask has a quote directly from when this famous actress was alive and has her signature red lip. They made this item out of cotton and has a black background. They included her bleach blonde hair and with winged eyeliner. My mother has this exact same mask and she wears it everywhere. It reminds me of when she got her Marilyn soap bottle that she got in her bathroom. She loves all items that consist of this actress.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.
