Men were seen as the breadwinners of most families during the Great Depression. Society at this time often viewed women, especially unmarried women, as not capable of providing for their families. As a result, women who were not seen as breadwinners faced discrimination in the workforce and struggled to find employment. Single men also had difficulties finding work, but they were often given priority over unmarried women. Women were often pushed out of the workforce to make room for men who were believed to be more deserving of jobs. The lack of opportunities for women and single men during this time further deepened the economic hardships faced by many families.
