Have we really changed?

How far have women come since World War II? Lana Rakow mentions that post World War II, there was a term called the 'feminine mystique' which was "the fulfillment of femininity through women's roles as housewives as women's highest value and only commitment"(187). The 'feminine mystique' is definitely still in full swing but has it changed at all? On the left is an image of a housewife during the 1950s. She is cooking for her husband and on the bottom it says "Life can be wonderful". On the right is a recent image of a current housewife. She is a working mom who does just about anything. She has kids (and is holding one), has a briefcase (so she works) and she is carrying groceries (still does the cooking, cleaning, etc. around the house). I believe it has changed. The world (society) keeps changing, upgrading so we try to keep up and change as well.

Rakow also mentions (in cultural theory approach) that "men and women live in two different spheres and have two different cultural experiences"(195). Do you agree? I think that in the 1950s it was true. Like in the image (left) above it is clear who is in control and that men and women had separate duties and separate tasks. But now, like in image on right, women and men are not separate anymore. Sure there are "traditional" families like in the 1950s but now moms work, dads stay at home, both work, etc. What is traditional anymore?
