This is fairly inaccurate, as well. Paid work was certainly lower, but prior to the Industrial Revolution merely putting clothes on your back was a fairly labor-intensive task. One estimate puts it at 10 spinners to supply one person on a loom, and this work was often done by women at home, and was generally paid work in the Middle Ages. A British census in the mid 1800s, which over-represents unpaid work in domestic services as laborers (I'll let you decide if that counts as women being part of the economy or not), still had about 50% of women in the census as employed.

I am responding specifically to the original point that the 50s represented a time where women somehow worked less than ever before. That's just not true. I am not arguing against the idea that women performed valuable labor roles.
