Female teachers in the 1930's


Female teachers in the 1930's wore short sleeved, long dresses that went to about mid calf. /they also wore skirts of the same length with buttoned shirts and sometimes a jacket and scarf.
Married women had to rely on their husbands wages as men were generally paid 75% more than women because they have to support a family. During the depression there was married women to stay at home, even if they did need the money. Many single women agreed that they were entitled to make a living as they did not have a husband to support them.
