The GI Generation

The 1940's would probably be one of the places I would visit to experience the ways women handled themselves and their families while the men in their family were at war. I mean, who wouldn't want to be able to prove men wrong and do THEIR jobs as "weak" and "emotional" women? With tons of jobs available, a woman had high chances of being able to get a job and finally be free from the kitchen. The men at war also gave the women their very own chance to be on TV playing in the All American Girls Baseball team!! Although I'm not a big fan of baseball, being able to see a typical house-wife play baseball better than a pro-baseball player would bring me great joy.

Although the war was devastating for almost everyone, it brought America back to the top,economically speaking. More and more inventions were being created to help better society, like the almighty refrigerator! TV's were also affordable in the 40's where families could sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the classic television shows like Texaco Star Theatre. In the 1940's one would also be able to be a part of the beginning of the great Walter Elias Disney's career. His career began with Fantasia, an amazing movie starring Mickey Mouse. Tons and Tons of other people also began living their dreams in the 1940's

The most important reason for my visit to the 1940's would be the FASHION!! Very different from past years, the 40's consisted of simple yet fun clothing for both men and women. Women wore dresses and men wore suits. I'm pretty sure any girl would LOVE a man in a nicely tailored suit. Different patterns were also "in" at the time and were mostly made from scratch! Many women made their very own unique dresses, which I think is WAY cooler than going to the store and buying something a lot of other people have bought before. Right? The 1940's was just an amazing decade to become original and have more experiences than ever before.
