Best Answer

Women were forced by the economic crisis to leave the comfort of their homes to take up jobs to help their families. Even though it was tough, this gave them the opportunity to gain a place in society. Some men were too self absorbed with the image and left their families and not except that women were moving up the ladder of society.

During the Great Depression women found it easier to get jobs than their husbands but faced discrimination and public resentment because they erew believed to be the ones taking jobs away from men, even though their jobs were made for women. Some husbands walked out on their wives leaving them to care for their children on their own....ummm....couples mariied less frequently as men lacked a job to support a family.They economized and shared. Their actions gained them new power in their house and a voice in domestic decisions. Basicallyy they did what they had to do to take care of their families for example making gardens, canned food, and made clothes for themselves and children and made new material when they got worned out i got this info from various sources (from articles)
