Here is a short article that appeared a year and a half into the administration of President Roosevelt and it lays the nation's economic short comings right upon the doorstep of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

"The New Deal plan for cotton is destroying nothing less than the principal industry of the South... There is freshly disclosed evidence that the Public Works Administration works directly toward the retardation of private enterprise." This historic article appeared during the opening weeks of Roosevelt's first term administration announcing that the new president was taking a novel approach in granting various appointments to government positions of leadership by selecting numerous women who had proved their mettle in the fiery furnace of 1920s Democratic party politics.
1924 was a very important year for American women in politics...
