Women have always been in the workforce. What changed with the women's lib movement was where in the workforce you found women. Woman started showing up in careers that used to be exclusively or nearly exclusively male. Before that, plenty of women worked in jobs that were stereotypically female dominated. Waitress, cashier, hair salon, nurse, housekeeper, etc.
