The New Deal was a series of domestic programs designed to get Americans back on their feet after the Great Depression. Blacks were hit especially hard by the loss of jobs; some programs in the New Deal inadvertently hurt them, but the administration tried to help their plight. At first, most of the New Deal programs targeted men because they considered them the head of the household. Later programs included women.
it allowed women and minorities to play a bigger role in society
I am taking this in my history class right now.Canada after WW2 was affected socially, in the category of intolerance. Afro-Americans, Natives and women were much more respected after the war and many racial barriers were torn down because people realized that Afro-mericans and Natives were as good as any soldier and person. Women of all races gained huge amount of rights and were now respected in universities and the workplace.
it means "hiring or admitting a slightly less well qualified woman or black, rather than a slightly more qualified white male, for the purpose of helping to eradicate sexual and/or racial inequality, or for the purpose of compensating women and blacks for the burdens and injustices they have suffered due to past and ongoing sexism and racism"
What is sociology of women
In 1900 few women rode a bicycle. Ladies of the time had long skirts, high boots, and were buttoned up fairly well. It was improper to show an ankle let alone other body parts. They also didn't take part in many sports since it wasn't "lady like". Society was very structured in 1900. Women still couldn't vote, own property, have a bank account, run a business, go to college let alone get ono a very high seat of a bicycle.
Affirmative action
Not well, the minorities weren't aloud to vote because the test to vote would be if you could read and the majority of them couldn't.

Both women and racial minorities have been suppressed, sometimes through laws, sometimes in spite of the law. These two rights movements are attempts to overcome the past and get full rights.

The Southern conservatives limited these people from their rights due to anti-racial and anti-women views among the conservative group. They did not want any minorities or women benefitting from any of the new social programs.
women and minorities had a disadvantage, they had more preference for white men and boys so they would usually get paid less.
