The 1950s were an inauspicious time for women. It was an era that birthed the ideology of living the post-war suburban dream, in which a womanâs place was to serve and obey their husband, often suppressing their needs and desires to marry, bear children, and run a household. Womenâs social standing at the time was that they were submissive and inferior beings to men. The play The Season in Sarsaparilla written by Patrick White explores the theme of living the...
