My parents got married in 1957. When my mother married my father, the company she worked for had two shifts working in the office. My mother worked the day shift in the office before she married my father. The company rule in 1957 was that if a single female employee got married, she had to transfer to the night shift in the office within 90 days of marriage or leave the company. Most newlywed female employees did not want to work the night shift, so they quit. The underlying message was that the company was discouraging married women from being employees. When my mother told me this many years ago, I couldn't believe an employer could get away with this. But employers could in 1957.
