The women's role revolved around the cooking, housecleaning, and mending became if anything more necessary. The traditional gender roles assumed that all women were members of families with a male breadwinner at its head, but that did not always match reality. Women who were widowed or divorced, or whose husbands had deserted them really struggled to keep their families afloat; single women had to fend for themselves, they would take in other people's laundry to make ends meet, life was tough in the 1930's.
