The New Deal also failed to deliver lasting benefits to women. During the 1930s‚ women were often portrayed simply as housewives or mothers. In 1930‚ only 24% of women were recorded as being in employment ‚ with many being paid less than their male counterparts. The New Deal did little to promote equal pay. Indeed‚ the policy of giving women lower wages than men was enshrined within the NRA. Even after the later stages of The New Deal had been implemented‚ figures from 1937 show that the average

Whether or not women should be leaders in society is a highly debated topic and one that the Bible gives mixed signals about. The Bible tells us in Judges 4:1 about how Deborah led Israel and received God’s blessing. The Bible also states in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet” (1 Timothy 2:11-12‚ NIV). This provides some conflicting viewpoints on whether women should be leaders

The story I chose to read was “Winter Dreams” by Fitzgerald. Addressing the first part of the question‚ Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams” depicts the transformation of traditional American culture to a materialistic‚ joy-seeking society. Fitzgerald’s short story is unique in comparison to other modernist works as he takes a longer timeframe to express his message. The story begins with Dexter as a young teenager and ends with him being in his late twenties to early thirties. Nonetheless‚ the story underlines
