However, attaing suffrage was a triumph for women's rights, it didn't produce a victory for progressive politics voting continued as a middle and upper class activities. With Jim Crow laws the voices of African- American women voices were difficult to hear. Despite the Nineteenth Amendment Women started a National Women's party, which they concentrated on politics and 1923 proposed an Equal Rights Amendment. Most women shifted their attention from politics and focused on gender roles. One way women defied boundaries of acceptance as a female was entering the workforce. During the great war, development of fighting men created necessity for employing women in hospitals, factories, and offices. Women returned home with a lot of job openings when the war ended. Throughout the 1920s more women joined workforce as typists, telephone operators, and sales representatives.

 * Poor /Male perspective of Steel Mills **

The idea of a male in the poor section of life was very grueling as they took jobs that would only make them the slightest bit of money. But steel mills were defiantly their way out being that it paid okay money but had horrid long hours that would a break a man till he quit. From one man’s perspective being was horrible and misunderstanding of life that could have been, with having little to no food and always needing a place to stay depending on how poor you were. When these men began working in the steel mills they seen it as a way out but a hard one but once there, a lot of the men could not take such conditions, extreme heat, chemicals, and molten metal pouring a boring every which way you turn. Some areas of the mills so hot that the heat would melt the bottom of their boots. To prevent the heat exhaustion that was offered by the mills, men would drink one to two pals of water a day because the sweat would pour out their pores and down into their boots.
