Girl’s Rule, Boy’s Drool. Women during The Great Depression were conflicted with not having their husbands with them when they were going through starvation. Many men went through unemployment including women. It went from 3 million to 4 million in just a year. Women were being the heroes throughout this point.

Men and women went through the Great Depression very differently. In this case, the men were weaker than the women. The men didn’t know what was going on with their lives, because they felt like failures due to not having jobs anymore and weren’t able to feed themselves and their families anymore. ‘’The women knew that life must go on and that needs of life must be met and it is their courage and determination which time and again have pulled us through crises than the present one.’’ (Susan Ware) This quote shows that since there men had no way of going through the Depression and had no way of keeping themselves busy that cause them to really getting affected throughout The Depression. However, when women had their husbands leaving them that caused a very huge crisis, if they were just a single lady or man living in the same house they didn’t have to worry about feeding kids. Basically they had nothing to worry about except for themselves, which helped some men and women with financial crisis and food throughout The Depression. Now of course if it were a family with kids that would make it even harder so when the Men left the women couldn’t bale on their children, after all women have a bigger heart then men. This just proves when the Men baled on their family members that just showed how much cowards they were however Women who were more stronger choose to stay with their family members no matter what would happen, they didn’t let The Depression stop them from living and keep their loved ones, throughout the entire depression they kept on telling themselves nothing is impossible if you keep on trying and that’s what the women did and at the end they

    Some individuals viewed women who applied for aid or paid work as taking money and jobs away from more deserving men. Despite the opposition from men, women experienced a gain of two million jobs between 1930 and 1940. Women helped their families survive through their own fortitude and strength, despite all of the resistance they felt from men and societal expectations. As Eleanor Roosevelt said during the Great Depression in her book entitled It’s Up to the Women, “...it is [women’s] courage and determination which, time and again, have pulled us through worse crises than the present one.” (Ware par. 1) Without women, there is no doubt our nation would have suffered more at the hands of the Great Depression than it already did. Although the Great Depression brought pain and tragedy, it was certainly positive in its effect to help women begin to break the glass ceiling for the first time, as well as exemplify the inner strength in women that was previously suppressed as a result of confining gender…

    Introduction Economists are unable to agree on the causes of or cures for unemployment (or anything else, it seems). The essence of the Keynesian explanation is that firms demand too little labour because individuals demand too few goods. The classical view was that unemployment was voluntary and could be cleared by natural market forces. The neo-classical theory is that there is a natural rate of unemployment, which reflects a given rate of technology, individual preferences and endowments. With flexible wages in a competitive labour market, wages…

    I. INTRODUCTION Economists are unable to agree on the causes of or cures for unemployment (or anything else, it seems). The essence of the Keynesian explanation is that firms demand too little labour because individuals demand too few goods. The classical view was that unemployment was voluntary and could be cleared by natural market forces. The neo-classical theory is that there is a natural rate of unemployment, which reflects a given rate of technology, individual preferences and endowments. With flexible wages in a competitive labour market, wages adjust to clear the market and any unemployment that remains is voluntary. The latter view was that held by Milton Friedman and strongly influenced government policy in the early 1980s, but without success. There is, of course, no simple explanation of unemployment and no simple solution.…
