During the 1920s, despite some progress in women's rights, societal norms and expectations still largely confined women to traditional "female" professions such as nursing, school teaching, and librarianship. There was not a significant inroad into previously all-male professions or a dramatic increase in women physicians, and the workforce composition did not dramatically shift towards single women or decline overall.
