Women were pressured into being housewives through a system of traditional return to family system.

Explanation:

The world war had led the women out of their houses into the factory with the absence of men who had all gone fighting in the war and thus the workforce had a place for the women but as soon as the war got over it was believed that it should not be continued.

As Friedan suggests, it is a concern with no name that the family values would return in the time of peace and when there is an issue the women would be called up again to work in harsh conditions.
