History[edit | edit source]
The phrase was first coined in the thirties as a way to remind women that a career does not have a greater importance than her husband and family. This term was mainly used from the early thirties to mid nineties.[3] This is because women began being seen as assets to be used within the workforce during trying times as well as with the advancement of technology.[4]
