    Levittown was created in the United States after World War II by William J Levitt as seven large suburban housing developments to offer veterans and their families an alternative to crowded city apartments. During WWII, around 350,000 American women served in the military and took on non-combat roles as well as office and factory jobs while the men were away. However, once the war ended, policies replaced women workers with returning men and society pushed women back into traditional roles focused on family and child rearing, leading to a post-war baby boom. The McCarthy era of the 1950s saw investigations and hearings led by Senator Joseph McCarthy to expose supposed Communist infiltration of the U.S. government during the Cold War.
