During the 1920s, women faced significant workplace discrimination, including limited job opportunities and lower wages compared to their male counterparts. Many professions were deemed inappropriate for women, and they were often relegated to roles such as secretaries, teachers, or nurses.

This discrimination was reinforced by a lack of legal protections and prevailing attitudes that viewed women primarily as homemakers.
