Women in early societies lived to reproduced and continue the blood line, mostly striving for male babies. People in society in some ways believed that god wanted life to run as women as the follower or to be inferior. Women through the years pushed to work and for education and over time laws were granted to allow this for women. The people saw a need for more workers with more jobs now available.

The Depression hit women, like other minority groups in American society, similarly harsh because of that payrolls of many communities and private companies were open only to males.

Many women found their roles and opportunities and responsibilities expanded, as they did in previous wars. Husbands went to war or went to work in factories in other parts of the country, and the wives had to pick up their husbands' responsibilities. With fewer men in the workforce, women filled more traditionally-male jobs. In the military, women were banned from combat duty, so women were called on to fill some jobs that men had performed, to free men for combat duty.
Five Influential Women in Latin Music Throughout world history, women have generally been considered second class citizens to men. Latin America was no exception. Historically, latinas have been confined to the domestic sphere where they were expected to cook, clean, and care for children.
