What are the inherent conflicts in the subgenre of working women? Do they change over time? If so, how ? If not, why not?

Women particularly benefited from this period of economic growth. Since the majority of job growth was in the service sector, women found employment in urban offices and shops. Women, who composed only 25 percent of the workforce during World War II, accounted for more than 50 percent of the labor pool by the 1990s. As women took on additional responsibility in the workplace, they struggled to balance their careers with their traditional roles as wives and mothers. Conflict over the changing role of women in American society gave rise to a new feminist movement, which began in the 1960s. By women obtaining consistent paying jobs, the idea of equality for women in the workplace was enforced. The only highlighted conflict that came into play in the series were women trying to obtain independence from men and making it known that they too can be successful in the business world. Working women at the beginning were often mocked and looked down upon until people finally began to realize women too can hold their own in society.
