In what ways did the ideas about (and the reality of) proper roles for women change in years of great depression?

- . Equal rights amendment

- equal access to employment/education/other citizen rights

-  Sexual freedom

- Youthful flapper image

-  Continued stress on marriage, homemaking as ultimate goals

During the great depression, large portion of american household are left with insufficient income.

Because of this, a lot of households started to embrace the idea for women to also join the workforce in order to add the income.  This eventually lead to activism for equal access to employment and other freedom for women.

Despite this efforts, there were still a lot of groups in society that wanted to discourage this. They still put stress on marriage as end goal for women in order to maintain the power in society.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
