During the Great Depression, Norman Cousins made the following remark: "There are approximately 10,000,000 people out of work in the U.S. today. There are also 10,000,000 or more women married and single who are job holders. Simply fire the women, who should not be working anyway, and hire the men. Presto! No unemployment. No relief. No depression." How would you evaluate this statement? Is work a human right or a gender-based privilege? Do you think that men would have taken jobs that were traditionally considered "women's work" in the 1930s even if they were unemployed? (Feminist)
