  First Measured Century: Interview: William Chafe
WILLIAM CHAFE: There was a really interesting transition point at the beginning of the war between attitudes towards women not really being able to handle these jobs and the recognition that somehow you had to be able to replace the men who were going off to war.
WILLIAM CHAFE: I think the most important legacy of women working in World War II was to create a foundation in reality of middle class, middle aged women in the labor force, because prior to World War II, that had been the exception rather than the rule.
WILLIAM CHAFE: One of the things that people always talk about vis-a-vis the 1960s is the sexual revolution, which I think really has a lot to do with the student revolution generally speaking, and with a different attitude towards middle class institutions such as monogamy, marriage, the church, et cetera.

 Chafe
According to Chafe, World War II “created the framework for the next thirty years of economic development.” (7) Defense preparations led to the implementation of Keynesian economics, which, in turn, stimulated capital investment and produced nearly full employment.
Chafe emphasizes the “common theme” of these changes as “the interaction of some improvement with daily reminders of ongoing oppression.” (20) The conflict between the two forces produced the necessary ideological impetus that sparked the growth of the civil rights movement in the next decade.
Chafe’s cogent discussions of accomplishments and failures of these marginalized groups highlights one of the book’s two outstanding strengths.

 Amazon.com: Analyzing Bach Cantatas: Books: Eric Chafe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A respected theorist of seventeenth-century music, Chafe is sensitive to the composer's intentions and to the enduring and universal qualities of the music itself.
Far from being a mind unconscious that it is calculating, Chafe convincingly argues that Bach carefully set his canata texts to illuminate their theological meaning.
Beginning with simple devices such as triads to represent the trinity, Chafe describes Bach's use of more subtle musical ideas such ascending or descending lines and harmonies to represent, for example, God's incarnation (descent to earth) and mankind's redemption (ascent to heaven).
