The role of women in American society has been changing since the establishment of the United States, but since the 1950s some of the most serious changes have occurred. All breakfasts in the movies Mildred Pierce, Pleasantville, Tiffany correspond to these changes by women. In the 1950's, women were "thought" to be housewives, so they should not have worked at home. In the 1950s many women were regarded as men's property and therefore had little character. In the past few years women tried to break this pattern, and women changed countless numbers since the 1950s. Today 's women have many similarities with women in the 1950' s, but women in the 1950 's defined women and worked hard to build a woman from scratch from today.
