I disagree.  The women who raised the baby boom generation placed much
more importance on the bearing and raising of children than women do
today.  Not only were there significantly fewer options, they were
seen as mutually exclusive.  If women did work after marriage, it 
was usually only until the first child was born.  Now, women can choose
to have careers *and* families.
