Lady, you have been had. Just like a lot of women. By business. In the 1960s there were a number of articles about women in the work force. Few if any about women at home. Gradually the number of articles increased. And as the number of articles increased, the number of women in the work force increased. The country increased in wealth. However, more people in the work force meant competition for jobs and lowering of wages.  Good for business.

Then in the 90s it was almost mandatory that you had to be in the work force to be anybody. This is reflected in the article. The two income family became the norm. Some argued that two incomes were required. Maybe some truth in that since real wages were lower. 

How damaging the two income family can be is seen by considering when a two income family becomes a one income family. There is a job for an unemployed. One less unemployed, less welfare cost. Less taxes required. So a one income family is the good thing.

Meanwhile business smiles.
