The speaker is UT Austin Prof. Steven Mintz whom I interviewed in 1990 about families in the 1950s. He is America's leading historian on the history of the American family. He is the author of 14 books on the subject of the family. I know this era is controversial based on the many comments on the clips I have posted. It is useful to consider statistics in trying to understand just how good or not good the 1950s were for Americans. #1950s #1950sfamily #americanfamily #women'srights #1950swife #50s #maga
