This One's for Mollie
Mollie brought up a good point, that the transition of women into the labor force had its origins in WWII, not the women's liberation movement. I can't disagree or agree because I haven't seen any data. This is the best data I could find, labor force participation rate for women. It only goes back to 1948.
Anybody else got older data?

The data goes back to 1940, and there is a slight bump during WWII.
