Well if you research it, men during the 1950’s were sexist. Therefore A is the best choice. A article states, “Women's main role in society in the 1950s was to take care of the family.

"Modern mothers", as they were called, couldn't have friends, jobs, or anything that would distract them from their duties from the house and family.” This shows that woman were often criticize.
