One impact of the Great Depression on women and children was the increase in poverty and hardship. As many men lost their jobs and were unable to provide for their families, women had to take on additional responsibilities and find ways to support themselves and their children. This led to a rise in the number of working women and a shift in gender roles within households. Additionally, the economic crisis made it harder for families to access basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter, leading to increased levels of poverty and suffering among women and children.
