They shouldn’t have fired me yesterday when I had my daughter there. I can’t believe they couldn’t have waited . . . It was just so unbelievable, so cruel, that they would do that with my daughter there.” All company employees had been sent by the company’s Office of Human Resources an email reminder that they were free and encouraged to bring their daughters with them for the day. The company will give Murphy three months’ severance pay and help to find a new job. “The timing of the dismissal of Mr. Murphy was regrettable,” said Quentin.

Do you think Edie Doyle few in love with Terry Malloy from the first time they walked together? Even though it was right after Edie’s brother died and she met Terry, I think she made it clear that she was into him, especially when he asked her if she remembers him and she said how could anyone forget that face.

It was during this time period that women’s employment became of less importance to those wanting to recover and rebuild their lives after the war. An ad for International Sterling depicted the similarities between a graduation and a marriage for young women. The ad said, “ Somewhere there’ll be another June - another white dress, another aisle” (114). It is a reflection of the expectation for girls to finish school and get married. Another ad in ‘Seventeen’ magazine for hope chests has the pitch, “Some special occasion is surely coming up soon - your birthday, graduation, engagement perhaps…” (121) Despite the opinion of the majority being against women working, there were still those who fought for women’s rights, especially in the workforce.

The Commission’s recommendations included that “‘gender’ and ‘marital status’ be prohibited grounds for discrimination by employers”, that “two qualified women from each province be appointed to the Senate”, and that “the federal government name more women judges to all courts within their jurisdiction” (145).
