Restraints on Women in the Nineteen-Thirties

After more than 200 years of living under the United States Constitution and despite all of the progress women have made, they still to this day continue to suffer discrimination in employment, insurance, health care, education, the criminal justice system, social security and pensions, and just about any other area you can name.

It's not fair the way women have been treated in today's culture and time before ours. The first meeting for the women's rights was held July 19-20 in 1848 so women could be able to vote created by the 19th amendment which “guarantees all American women the right to vote (House of Representatives)”. Strong, confident and forceful women have brought about gender equality and redefined the woman’s place in society; this is illustrated in A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen and in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

During the 1930s women is not treated equal with men and they are very different with each other. The amount of women actually getting jobs are less likely to men getting jobs. Fashion is also very different, women are in plain dresses while men are in blue denim jackets. Women during the Great Depression are actually depressed because they can not get jobs and their wages are half as as much as men. Men gets good jobs and amazing wages but at least both still got their fashion.

During the first World War I women were left at home to try and figure out how they were going to care for their families. Their husband, father, and brothers were sent off to war. Many companies around the United States were left with production needs and little to no employees to do the job. In a time period, where women are expected to be confident and independent, they had to also realize they had little to no power in society. They had societal rules that they must stay at home to cook, clean, and care for the children. With the men who were prominent in their lives coming and going from war. These factors caused the birth of a new era. This is the era where women were emerging. Women were changing by being more independent sexually and expressing their emotions through music, poetry, and movies.

Historically, females have been discriminated against in the United States based solely on their gender.

In today 's world, women have an important role. They keep the sanity of others in tact, they maintain the peace, and provide a lot to communities all over the world. Women are just as capable as men when it comes to intellectual thinking, professions, and ideas. But one thing that cannot be changed is that men are just naturally physically stronger than women. So in the 1600’s and about up to the 1950’s, because women were not as physically strong, they were seen as weak in other aspects too. They were treated like decorations, just to be seen and not heard, just hang on a wall. But evidentially this is not true. Women are very powerful in many ways and Anne Hutchinson portrays that throughout her court case. American Jezebel by Eve

Women have had a rough way to go for many years when it comes to equality. They face many negative things in today’s society and that is the way it has been for many years. History shows that women have been fighting for equality for decades, because many people believe they just can’t do the things that men can. There’s a website that has been helping women fight for that equality since 1966. That website is www.now.org. Before then women never really had any help. They had to rely on each other to show everyone what they could really do. Women have fought to try and end discrimination when it comes to jobs and economic justice. So the status of women throughout history has changed,

Throughout history, women have been viewed differently from men. In the 1880’s and before, women were in charge of making a happy home, her job above all was to make sure her husband was happy. Around, the 1910’s women began fighting for their right to vote and to be viewed as an equal to the janitor that works for them. Still, to this day, women and girls are fighting to be viewed as an equal and respected as men and boys are in our society.

“Treating others with fairness and dignity is the rain that helps them grow fruitful.”(Author unknown.) Women were not being treated equal for nearly 100 years. Men thought they were superior to women. Maybe men thought this because their ego was as big their body build. No matter the reason, everyone is created the same there for everyone should be treated the same.

Women weren’t always looked at, as what they are today. Back in the 1930’s women were expected to cook, clean, and taking care of the children. There were expectations that girls were to act like girls and stay at home. The men were looked at as the main financial staples in the home. When a woman worked, they were looked down on as poor. It was rare to find a woman working. Few ladies applied for jobs and men were usually chosen over men, despite the qualifications that the woman had. In all women had been the underdog. Women had education up to a GED, but very little had a degree, even though higher education was encouraged. As now women are encouraged to work now, but in the 30’s women were encouraged to get a man that can work rather

The 1920s were a time of change. The years that preceded were filled with new technology, inventions, and mass media. A new way of life was created. Although these advancements may seem beneficial to us, there were unforeseen consequences that affected the women of the 1920s and beyond. Popular culture in the 1920’s including movies, magazines, and advertisements transformed the way in which Americans viewed women. Some of these depictions liberated women, but they also constrained them.

In the 1930’s women’s salaries were half that of a man’s. That would not be accepted in today’s society. Women were treated with very little respect and were not considered equal to men. For example, this treatment is the same with jobs. Women had less opportunity for work and were encouraged to be housewives. Many factory type jobs like, manufacturing was considered to be a “man’s job”. The roles of women correlated with their home life, job, and treatment. Modern women today differ greatly from the women of the 1930’s.

Women have not always been as respected in society as they are now.
