The 1930s was a decade of hardship during the Great Depression when many women had to work outside the home to support their families. It was also the setting for the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960 but set in the 1930s in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression. The novel highlights racial tensions and social classes during this era.
