I had two problems when reading this article which are caused by generalizations:

If you're an older Millennial (say born between 1980 and 1985) chances are very high that your parents were Boomers, and so chances are also very high that their grandparents were from the GI Generation and weren't the Silent Generation.

And of course if you look at what was going on in the early working years of the GI Generation and the Silent Generation you'll see that there was a much higher rate of employment with women of the GI Generation because of WWII. For young adult Silent women there was a backlash as men flooded the workforce and emphasis was placed on starting families.
