Essential Questions:
1)What were some causes for baby boom?

2)What did Americans have to do in order to support all the new babies being born?
-Americans had to create more toys, schools, car seats, diapers, bottles, and other baby essentials/needs.
3)How did roles of women change in the 1950's?
-The roles of women changed in the 1950's because the role of homemakers and mothers was being glorified. They were described as, "the key figure in all suburbia, the thread that weaves between family and community-the keeper of the suburban dream." Women began to have an increase in jobs and attending college.
4)What changes allowed the American car explosion to occur?
