Female appointments in the New Deal The first female Appeal Court Judge, ambassador and director of the US Mint were all appointed.
Welfare benefits of the Social Security Act Helped married women struggling to bring up children, and provided aid to dependent children for mothers with no male head of household. Many of the reforms came from proposals by female social workers.

Pay gap The National Recovery Administration established lower pay for female workers, even in public service and federal employment.
Domestic and agricultural work Women in domestic and agricultural work (often African Americans) were often disadvantaged by higher costs, while sharecroppers were hurt by the administration cutting agricultural production.
Priorities of the New Deal The main recovery aspect was getting men back to work, as Roosevelt felt that family stability depended on the male breadwinner.
Female advisers in the Administration Often restricted to traditional roles, such as in social policy or family matters, Women did not make radical changes to decision making.
Public Works and CCC Both were largely to provide jobs for men, while the 'She-she-she' camps for women were limited in scale and only included a few thousand women.
