Popular ways for women of the
1950’s to socialize: Women
of the fifties were mostly home (not in the work force). There were other women home in the neighborhood. The most common
way for women to socialize was to drop in for a cup of coffee, coffee and piece of home baked pie, or be invited to lunch.
Paint their nails together, roll or fix hair, listen to music on the radio or records, dance, read articles from magazines
and discuss. Card clubs were very popular…such as pinochle groups or bridge. Outings with other women could be out to
lunch together at a drive in or counter; to an afternoon movie. One could eat or join in the activity at the bowling alley
or roller skating rink. Also sunbathing at the local community pool or canal was very popular activity. The late evening popular
activity was the drive in movie double feature. Some of the above socializing activities were with their children.
