Despite the ERA's failure, other reform projects that started in 1972 met with greater success. Journalist Gloria Steinem began publishing Ms., a magazine committed to covering the woman's movement. New legislation included Title IX of the education Amendments Act of 1972. This law prohibited any college or university that received federal aid from discriminating against woman. Male-only schools began admitting woman. With more education, woman's career opportunities improved. More woman entered traditionally male profession's,such as business,law,and medicine. Some woman turned to politics. Between 1968 and 1972 the percentage of female female delegates to the democratic national convention rose jumped from 13 to 40 percent. The percentage of woman at the republican national convention rose from 17 to 30 percent. In addition, more woman began to seek and win political office. In 1968 Shirley Chrisholm became the first african-american woman elected to congress. She ran for the democratic presidential nomination in 1972. Despite such political gains, only 14 of 435 U.S representatives in 1973 were woman. No woman served in the U.S senate between 1973 and 1978. Many woman in the 1970s continued to face economic challenges. Woman's wages remained less than two thirds of the wages of men. The number of female-headed households rose. The number of those households living in poverty also increased. The woman's rights movement did change the roles and status of woman in society.
Unfortunately not many women were employed in America during the Great Depression. However the start of World War II called for all men and women on deck to fight in the war as well as work in factories to manufacture these weapons of war. It was not until World War II that women started to take on a more working class role in America.

During the Great Depression, many men faced unemployment and economic challenges. As a result, there was widespread resentment towards women who were working, as they were seen as taking jobs away from men who were the primary breadwinners. This resentment stemmed from the societal norm that dictated that men should be the ones supporting their families, and women working outside the home was seen as a threat to traditional gender roles.
Women who worked faced numerous problems during the Great Depression including low wages, harsh working conditions and not being treated equally as men. They also were given menial jobs.
