Sexism and Race (Being Female in America)

DescriptionThe United States in the 1930s was dominated
 by the economic difficulties of the Great Depression, which impacted 
life on all levels for much of the population. The Depression spurred 
federal programs in business and industry and investment in the arts and
 humanities, generating a heretofore unparalleled support for and public
 interest in literature, architecture, photography, and other ventures. 
At the same time, the country's economic woes did not discourage crime 
or social debate. The 1930s was a decade rich in new cultural and social
 programs, as well as political debate and legal challenge. The 
following documents are just a sampling of the offerings available in 
this volume: Notes on a Cowboy Ballet, Aaron Copland's notes for Billy 
the Kid; Progress in Michigan, newsletter of the Works Progress 
Administration; Land of the Spotted Eagle, by Luther Standing Bear; A 
Century of Progress Exposition: Official Pictures in Color, exposition 
booklet; What's the Matter with Congress? by Senator Lester J.
