During the depression women kept their families alive while the men went out and supported the family financially. Many women didn't focus on having a good education, and many teachers for little pay to keep the schools open. Most women lost their jobs so that men could work, while some women were forced to work to keep their families alive. More women were unemployed than men. Married worked women were looked down upon as steeling men's jobs. Most women stop doing social things because they were mostly with their families. Some women even stopped having children because staying alive was their main goal.
