It’s not even about wages increasing at such rates, rather the impact on cost of living. If single income families are the standard then a home will be affordable on a single income, but if even a relatively small percentage of couples are double income then the price of houses increases sharply which then forces many women who would rather stay at home into the workplace in order to compete with the double income families for necessities like housing. Same principle applies to most necessities and quite a few luxuries.

If there were less single moms, you'd have bigger families sharing a home too. Which means less demand for homes and lower prices.
