that changed. Most American women got married at the age of twenty. Nine years after the World War II had ended,“the cry of the baby was heard across the land,” as historian Landon Jones later explained the trend. More babies were born in 1946 than ever before. In 1946 there were 3.4 million babies born, which was twenty percent more than the rate in 1945. This was only just the beginning of the “baby boom”.
