I suspect I've used this title before, and if I have I probably wrote that ladies who lunch refer to a certain type of wealthy woman, quite often a trophy wife type, who either doesn't work or has a profession that can be thought of more as a hobby income rather than a true career. Think our current First Lady when she was still a former model living in Manhattan.
Dated "SEP 60," these ladies come from that post World War 2 era when an expanding middle class allowed for stay at home wives and mothers. Too, after the war, (And the Korean War, as well.) it was considered bad form for women to work and deny jobs to returning soldiers. Of course, this picture was taken just a few years before women started saying to hell with that.
