-Faced discrimination in the workplace
-The attitude towards working women was that women took jobs away from men
-National Recovery Administration (NRA) set wage codes lowering minimum wage for women
-Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and the Civil Works Administration (CWA) hired less women than men; Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) only hired men
*****Although there were these barriers, there was a slight increase in the overall percentage of women working
1. A number of New Deal programs (i.e. : NRA, CCC, TVA) discriminated against African Americans by giving them lower wages
2. African Americans sought to address this discrimination by organizing the Southern Tenant Farmers Union which advocated protecting the rights of African American and white tenant farmers and sharecroppers
*****In general, African Americans supported FDR (as well as his administration) and the New Deal because they had hope that the New Deal provided a path towards a better future
