According to Black (2011), “nursing research enhances the status of nursing as a profession by expanding nursing’s scientific knowledge base.” (pg. 268). "The information revolution that is transforming the present and shaping the future has made reading, understanding, and using nursing research as fundamental to professional practice as are knowledge of asepsis, application of the nursing process, and communication skills"(Blais, 2011). EBP is one of the many reasons that magnet hospitals are so successful. Magnet hospitals have brought improved patient care, patient satisfaction along with nursing satisfaction to the forefront by using systems that foster evidence based practice (Saver, 2006).
Women began to enter higher education at a staggering rate and this gave them the qualifications needed to enter into their own profession (often a senior one). Women were now beginning to earn their own income thus giving them their own spending power, paternalism of the family was beginning to break down as the father was no longer the main bread winner and so saw the foundation for the increasing role of the female consumer. Another significant development during the Golden Age was the availability of electricity and by the mid 1950s most houses were enjoying its benefits ‘‘the joy of better light, of warmth and the power to make easier work of life’s chores’, as one advertisement put it.’ (Sandbrook, 2005, p.110).

“Writing about gender roles of the 1950s, Betty Freidan once defined the ’suburban housewife’ as ’the dream image of the young American woman.’ Just as prescriptive literature of the 19th century geared to middling classes emphasized women’s ’true’ place in society as mother and wife, the 1950s saw an ideal perpetuated in books, magazines, movies, television, songs, and ads the depicted the white middle-class woman fulfilled only by happy marriage,” (historymatters.gmu.edu). Some examples of this bombardment was hit television shows Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best, which gave false advertisement of the typical family in the sixties and also the popular song You Don’t Own Me by Lesley Gore. “Most young women, at least in the middle class, expected to have access to the same careers and to receive the same compensation as men. It was no longer surprising to see women leaders in formerly ‘men’s’ fields like television production (Oprah Winfrey), diplomacy (Secretary of State Madeleine Albright), or the Supreme Court (Justices Sandra Day O’Conor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg). Even conservative Republicans recruited female candidates and urged them to be as aggressive on the stump as men,” (Isserman and Kazin
