I'd expect so. When I were a lad in the '50s, it was far less common for
women to drive - even if there was a family car, which again wasn't

I can think of only a few of the ones I knew at that time that
didn’t. None of the mothers of those I knew couldn’t, the
few that couldn’t were entirely of the generation before that.

Well yes, but you live in a big country like the US with appalling public
transport, and only the company store miles away. So it was a question of
learning how to drive or starve.

In the UK we had shops close by and decent public transport.
