As St Clair states “Once the war was over, many women returned to their old lives, but the spirit of emancipation persisted…Meanwhile, the crumbling of the old social order and the growth in the retail sector meant that women that might once have gone into domestic service became shop girls, living in cities with a disposable income to spend on traveling, make-up, clothes, fashion magazines and cinema tickets.”
