Question

What New Deal program was passed to help women go into the work force?

Answer 1

Between 1930 and 1945, the Depression, the New Deal program of legislation, and World War II shaped women workers’ experiences in the labor force and in organized labor. The Depression and World War II pushed more women into the work force than ever before and inspired increased organizational activity. The New Deal both improved working conditions for women, encouraged a high level of women’s participation in organized labor, and overcame some racial prejudices against non-white women workers. Despite these gains, sexism and racism continued to plague women in the labor force and in labor unions. The hardships women faced during the Depression, the discriminatory nature of the New Deal, and women’s increased role in the labor force during World War II led women to organize more than ever to secure their consumer and labor rights.

Answer 2

I've read many women didn't get as much help from the government. Men were focused on more. The women was to be left home to care for the house and children. I didn't really go into detail or go as far a World War Two but thank you!
