Looks like this already got political.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Shows that since about 1980 we've had more than 63% labor participation. Before that we had less. Before 1965, less than 40% of women were employed outside the home. Play with the BLS query tool for kicks

The TLDR graph looks a lot like this
