**__DBQ Outline __** **__Thesis __**: The responses that Franklin D.Roosevelts administration took to battle the problems of the Great Depression were semi-effective due to the fact that the responses taken by Franklin Roosevelts administration did not battle all the problems that the Great Depression presented. **__Paragraph One __**: Document A- “Yet there must be as many women out of jobs in cities and suffereing extreme poverty as there are men. What happens to them” <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">New Masses by Meridel Lesuer argues that the government did not do enough to help the women during the Great Depression. The document argues eqaulity and the way the government looked after the men during the Great depression and not the women. There were laws to help men with their unemployment problems, none for women, there were places for men to go when they needed to eat, but none for women, there were places to go for men when they needed a place to sleep, but none for women. **__<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Paragraph Two __**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">: Document J- “Unemplolyment of Nonfarm Workers By Percentage and Numbers” <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The graph shows the unemployment percentages of nonfarm workers during the Great Depression. The graph argues that while many pieces of legislation was being given to congress by the Roosevelt administration and being passed by congress, the legislation was not enough for the people because there was still a substantial amount of people out of a job and that was without the percentages of farmers. Nearly 13 million people that weren't farmers were without a job during the time of Franklin D.
