In general, a woman's role before WWII was to be a wife and mother, to stay at home and take care of the house and children, and to provide emotional support to her husband. Of course, there were exceptions, e.g. actresses, nurses, teachers, librarians and secretaries, etc., married or single, but they were considered to be exceptional.
According to interviews of women who were in the work force before World War II, a woman often lost her job upon marriage, as she was expected to then care for her house and family. It was difficult to have a career if you were a married woman unless you were a nurse, actress, teacher, or librarian. Secretaries, waitresses, telephone operators, laundresses and seamstresses usually became housewives automatically upon the exchange of marital vows. They went on their honeymoons and were replaced by single women.
