They could be fired for getting married or pregnant, and if they still had a job, they could be kept from certain roles, restricted from working longer...

"Every major American city has a highway tearing through its center. Seventy years ago, planners sold these highways as progress, essential to our future prosperity.

Nowhere is this more visible...
