American life before World War II saw women gain the right to vote in 1920 following the Nineteenth Amendment. The Roaring Twenties was a time of economic prosperity defined by the rise of the automobile, popular culture, and a booming stock market. However, the stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression, when unemployment rose as the economy struggled. President Roosevelt introduced his New Deal programs in the 1930s to provide relief and reform through expanded government programs.
