What did factory managers expect women to do when men returned home from the war

After WWII, factory managers expected women to quit their jobs and return to their domestic roles in the home so the war-worn men could retake their employment positions. While the war period was marked by governmentally-funded feminist messages/symbols such as ‘Rosie the Riveter’, the 1950’s and 1960’s saw women and men pushed back into traditional, stereotypical gender roles.
