The Great Depression

The Great Depression was a enormous and destructive problem that faced citizens during the era of 1920's in America. The depression was caused by a number of problems. One of which was the country's lack of diversification. The American prosperity depended too much on industries, notably construction and automobiles, therefore causing a huge crash in the economy when these industries began to decline. Because of this, newer industries emerged, but had not yet developed strength to compensate for the declines in other sectors. This lack of diversification caused many citizens to become unemployed, causing a majority of Americans to look to the government for necessities such as food and clothes.

Women suffrage

During the era of 1900, progressive American women felt as though there must be a time for evolution in the way they are perceived, and their rights as American citizens. Even though the men of that era did not quite agree with such mentality, the women strive to provide a society in which they are viewed as equal and, their opinions and ideas are counted. In addition, a variety of middle class and upper class women formed groups and organizations in order to promote the thought that a woman should be able to vote and a woman should gain the opportunity to choose her profession or attend colleges or universities. These groups of women were known as club women. Even though problems of all sort develop mostly by traditional men, in the end the effort for providing a equal society for women was successful.
