but do you really think doubling the pool of workers would have no impact on the labor market?

Why are you talking about hypotheticals?

Some women worked before then, some still didn't work after.

It was a lot closer to a 10% increase than 100%

I'm not talking about hypotheticals; women generally didn't work, and a couple decades later they did. The effective labor pool expanded.
