I did wonder if duct tape had been already invented when I read that passage!
I've been reading a lot of WWII book lately - and most authors get nylon stockings wrong! During the War, nylon was developed and began to replace silk in parachutes. After the War nylon stocking were made and much appreciated since during the War, silk stockings were pretty much non-existent and women reported to drawing a line down the backs of their bare legs to resemble the seam in stockings!
Do you think single-parent households are a new thing? Women have been raising children as a single mom for centuries --it was just not talked about.
