There were some women doctors, though not as many as there are now. Women worked in journalism and in libraries.

Women worked in factories and shops, and in restaurants and laundries. Large numbers of women worked in domestic service, especially black women, domestic work was the easiest kind for black women to get.

Women were generally paid less than men for doing the same jobs.

Did they use horse and carts in the 1930's?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although Ford had been cranking out automobiles for decades, the horse and wagon/buggy was still used throughout the 1930's. We take for granted the luxury of modern cars and the vast majority of American families have at least two per household, but before WWII the car was still a plaything of the wealthy. During both world wars gas and rubber were in short supply, making car ownership less available for people with smaller incomes. Finally, with the returning soldiers in 1945 and the onset of the babyboom and America's prosperity of the 1950's, the horse was replaced at a much faster rate. Family businesses did not replace the old horse when it died, but found it the perfect opportunity to update to a car or truck.

What many people do not realize is that today there are more horses in America than any other time in it's history. It's true we not longer rely on them for transportation, but man and horse have been partners for thousands of years and it is clear we choose to keep them in our lives.

Were there any malls supermarkets super-stores in the 1930s?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Supermarket (1930s and 1940s):

As early at the 1920s, some chain grocers were experimenting with consolidated (albeit still rather small) stores that featured at least a small selection of fresh meats and produce along with the dry grocery items. In Southern California, Ralphs Grocery Company was expanding into much larger stores than had been seen before in most of the country. Los Angeles was also seeing the beginning of the "drive-in market" phenomenon, where several complimentary food retailers (a butcher, a baker, a grocer, and a produce vendor, for example) would locate within the same small shopping center surrounding a parking lot. These centers were often perceived by customers as a single entity, despite being under separate ownership.

How much was candy in the 1930's?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the early 1960's, I remember candy bars to be priced at 5 cents. Prices of everything from that time seem to be so ridiculously low compared to now - movies .35, bread .15, comics .10, newspapers .05, etc. For a quarter, I could go to the corner store and buy: a 6-oz bottle of coke, a small bag of potato chips, a Devil Dog (an east cost cake treat made by Drake's), a large dill pickle and two pretzel sticks - all for .25!!! Of course, wages matched the cost; my father worked in a grocery store and when he left in 1968 after many years, his salary was $500.00 a month.

Who ran soup kitchens in the 1930s?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe that there were soup kitchens, although they were few and far between. They were also called "bread lines". It was just the beginning of the Great Depression and many men were out of work.

Some Trivia

Did you know that Al Capone (yes the gangster) started the Chicago soup kitchen's. He did not start them to "get the public on his side." He was sincere, he saw that the public had a need, and he wanted to help, because financially, he could.

While Al Capone did indeed feed many of the poor there was always a method to his madness and while he gained popularity and trust from the unemployed he also started Unions which gave work to many of the men in need, yet collected large sums of money which were often used in under-handed dealings. (Jimmy Hoffa) started out well, but soon got caught up in the mob. To this day they don't know where his body is located and never will find it.
