In the 1950s, the United States underwent dramatic economic development. Because of the GI Bills that had enabled many veterans from the Second World War to be enrolled at colleges, there was a huge increase in the number of middle-class families. Apart from the sharp increase of the income of these families, a suburban middle-class culture was also formed, in which the wives were supposed to hold the roles of the mother, the housekeeper, the entertainer of neighbors and friends, and the manager of a façade of a happy family to impress other people. During that period of time, the husbands were the main source of family income. And it was rare for middle-class wives to keep jobs. Therefore, women like Julia Weeds might feel trapped by their families and the suburbs, and their values and efforts were under-rated. The only way out of their daily routine was to go to the parties held by their neighbors.
