“Uncovering Personal Histories: Exploring the Impact of Motherhood in 1950s America Through an Interview”

I already have my secondary souce which i will attach below.  The paper is based on an interview I conducted which I have the notes on. The insturctions are as follows:
As part of this project, you will put that person’s story in historical context by identifying and incorporating a secondary source that provides historical information about one aspect of your interviewee’s life story. The goal of this assignment is to make evident the importance of individual stories and experiences in American history, which we get little of when we stay at such high altitude for much of this class. So really, I just want you to enjoy getting to know this person and their past a bit better. That is your primary objective.
After you conduct your interview, you should reflect on what you learned and think about if there is one particular aspect of this person’s life on which you could do further research. So, for example, if you talk to your grandma a lot about what it was like for her to raise three small children mostly on her own while your grandpa worked for wages, you might look further into motherhood in the 1950s United States.
