Mainly, to be a good mother and housewife. Emancipation of women started only decades later. In the Fifties it was not unusual that a woman holding a job had to resign the moment she married.

What rights did women have in the 1950s?

Not as many as they would gradually get beginning in the late 1960s, when the women's movement (also called Second Wave Feminism) began to take off. In the 1950s, women were still expected to stay at home and be housewives and mothers. Women could (and did) work part-time, but usually in low-paying office jobs or as cashiers, maids, etc. Of course, women did have the right to vote and the right to express themselves (there were some women authors, some women entertainers, and even a few women in non-traditional occupations like law); but over all, the culture of the 1950s was very traditional and expected most women to focus on the domestic sphere.
