About This Quote
During the years of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt said: “If you women continue to demand your choice to work, you will so upset the economy of this country that the time will come when you will not have a choice. You will have to work.” This was a reminder that women who worked needed to remember that their wages would only buy enough food to survive and nothing more.
