Poverty was widespread in America.

Away from the nation's affluent suburbs was another country, one inhabited by the poor, the ill-fed, the ill-housed, and the ill-educated. This was the assertion made by author Michael Harrington in his 1962 book, The Other America: Poverty in the United States. Harrington's book had an impact on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. President Johnson's "Great Society" plans aimed to address the problems of poverty in America.

explain what women's roles on the farm, in industry, and domestically were in the late 19h century.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Women generally worked closer to the house. On most farms, houses were a place of work, not merely comfortably decorated homes. The women cooked three large meals a day in the kitchen for a family that could number more than 10, and with resident laborers could number more than 12 to 14 per meal. All the wood for the cookstove came from the farm and had to be split as it was used. Farm wives tended large gardens, raising and preserving most of the family's food. They sewed many of the family's clothes.
