    Not all of them. There were entire segments of the population excluded from the huge amounts of wealth in the years following ww2. The battle for women to enter the workforce in the 60s/70s was primarily a fight for white women, black women were forced to work because of poverty immediately following emancipation and ever since. Not only that, but the intersection of 2 political minorities means that finding work was hard af for them.

      It is a blind spot for middle class esp suburban whites who lived in segregated communities
