Think back to the culture of the 1950s. Women were traditionally housewives, and the "housewife" category was born. The nuclear family was in its prime. Nuclear war was a threat, and there was a global crisis happening. Americans took this time to take charge of their place in the world.
Use this as a starting point, this is extremely basic. You need more information from your text book.
