Best Answer

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.

What impact did the popularity of the bicycle in the early 1900's have on 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.
