Bryson, Dennis. "Family and Home, Impact of the Great Depression." U.S. History In Context. N.p., 2004. Web. 31 Oct. 2016.
Dennis Bryson received his Ph.D. in History from the University of California at Irvine, his specialization was twentieth-century United States cultural and intellectual history. The gender roles of men and women were very distinct during the 1920's, as the men had to provide everything for their families. This source gives insight into the deep emotional effects of the The Great Depression. Particularly, on families and the father's of the house. He first starts off with how The Great Depression turned families upside down. The men were supposed to provide for the family and when they lost their jobs the men felt like failures. This resulted in the increased divorce rates, impoverished children, alcoholic men, searching for a new job in other cities, and some men just up and left their families all together. Some families learned to adapt to these economic deprivations. Women and children found work to provide for their household. African Americans were harshly affected by the economic decline more than the whites. African American women also adapted to this by sharing their scarce resources with kin, neighbors, and friends. By the 1930’s the federal government provided education, welfare, health, and housing for American families. This source shows that families were faced with harsh and extreme economic deprivation. Families learned to adapt to this by mothers and wives of families stepping up and providing for their family and children even helping out to. This is beneficial because it shows the significance of the economic crisis and how it's affected families. It relates to the theme because without the women of the households fighting to provide for their families then families would have fallen apart even more than they already have.

The Federal Writers’ Project is a program established in the United States in 1935 by the Works Progress Administration as part of the New Deal struggle against the Great Depression. It provided jobs for unemployed writers, editors, and research workers. It operated in all states and at one time employed 6,600 men and women. This is a primary source that contains interviews with people dealing with The Great Depression. One man who is a street vendor was asked why he sings while he works, he answered that he wanted to attract his customers by being spontaneous. By doing this he made a rhyme to go along with what he was selling. He says the way to do this is by being in the right mood. This man shows people that even though times are tough you can still make the best of it. If you have a positive attitude people will want to be around you and you will make them happy too. This source is valuable because not only is this man not letting The Great Depression ruin him, he is also giving people hope for a better life with the idea of happiness and friendliness. This man is taking a stand by providing job opportunities to fight against the decreased unemployment.
