The 1950s was a short period in our history. This history is recalled fondly mostly by whites men because everyone else remembers it differently back then. Men could easily have their wives committed by meeting with a doctor. The decision on how to treat breast cancer would routinely be talked over between a woman's husband and her doctor.
Black, LGBTQ, Latinx? You had little to no rights.
But whites would wax nostalgic for this short period of time during the 1950s.
