Same here. To be sure, those women (i.e. my grandmothers) were definitely hard working. Raising lots of children, without "modern" appliances like dishwashers etc. in the household. But the money that came from one income was enough.

> Effectively the worth of income nearly halved.

At least the worth that reaches the worker after taxes etc.

In the case of my grandmother she was the only one working, so yeah... but still, one income could raise two children.
