Last night, I watched Robert Reich's "Inequality For All."
Reich has a gift for distilling "The Big Picture," then illustrating it with pointed particulars.
He makes a persuasive case that women flooded the marketplace as reaction to growing income inequality which, starting in 1977, obligated both parents to enter the job market to make ends meet.
Follow the money!
We so easily overlook the obvious -- miss "the purloined letter" -- that I again spotlight Cowboy Capitalism's sans pareil corruption of individual morality and The Body Politic.
No other single cause has been nearly as corrosive.
"Inequality For All" features Amazon co-founder, billionaire Nick Hanauer, who formerly believed in Trickle Down Economics, "Free" Markets and "tax cuts for Job Creators."

Although I cannot locate free internet access to "Inequality For All," Netflix currently streams the movie.
If you do not have access to Netflix, I recommend Bill Moyers interview with Reich conducted just prior to the movie's release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-rpkZe2OEo
