Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

New Deal policies, such as the Works Progress Administration (WPA), focused on supporting women primarily in roles that were traditionally considered suitable for them, such as sewing projects, school lunch programs, and teaching positions, rather than challenging the gender norms of the time by providing heavy manual labor jobs or encouraging entrepreneurship among women. The right to vote was granted to women before the Great Depression, through the 19th Amendment in 1920, not as a part of New Deal policies.
