No kidding. My family was not middle class, we did not fit into whatever their idea of the 50's was.
Any conversations that mentions "when women didn't work" drives me spare. The women in my family always worked. Go into a non-suburban non-white neighbourhood and try to tell them their mothers never had to work. They'll laugh at you. Then they'll set you on fire.
