How did the Great Depression affect women?

History
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
7 0
Women were shunted from the workforce as the majority of employers hired white male applicants. So it definitely didn't get better for them, but the disparity between genders was minimized a bit as both males and females suffered. 

On the other hand (and I'm not sure about this), the differences between the rights of men and women generally lessen in times of crisis due to the need of everyone's work to survive (which happened while the men were away during WW2). 
As most of the men were off fighting in the war, women had to take over many of the professions that the men had left behind, leaving the women much more able-bodied and independent by the end of the war. 

But going back to the Great Depression, women also had to deal with the horrible struggle of keeping her family from starving (especially her children). And often times, her husband went around traveling to find work or just plain abandoned her and their children, leaving the woman under even more duress.

By 1933, nearly half of America's banks had failed, and unemployment was approaching 15 million people, or 30 percent of the workforce.

How did the 2nd industrial revolution affect class structure
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The second is the Industrial Revolution, and that involved the shift from farms to factories. ... Families were separated during the day, and children of the working class often had jobs in factories or coal mines (instead of going to school) because the family needed that income.

Which statement includes explicit information from the excerpt? Washington asked James Jay to invent a form of invisible ink. Wa
seropon [69]

The statement "James Jay created an invisible ink system that required two chemicals" includes the explicit information from the excerpt.

<h3>Statement including explicit:</h3>

Nothing is implied when explicit information is stated. The phrase "it was a dark and stormy night," for example, contains explicit information that leaves no room for interpretation. By any stretch of the imagination, the reader cannot assume that the story takes place on a sunny morning.

Therefore, the correct option is the last sentence.
