Abstract
In the following pages, I present my personal perspective on the 1950s and 1960s in Australia's development, with particular emphasis on the Second World War, the Baby Boom, the Vietnam War, women's experiences with family life and gender formation, and immigration. In this life writing, I illustrate my personal knowledge of the stresses on middle class family life during the 1950s. I also examine the conflicting desires of many middle class women to experience fulfillment in the workplace, while at the same time conforming to the societal expectations of women in suburban family life. As well, I explore personal gender and sexual identity formation pressures that I experienced as I tried to meet patriarchal expectations for young women during this period. My personal experiences have greatly informed my analysis of the social expectations for women during this period. |
