In 1934, the experience for women in higher education was challenging, shaped by the Great Depression and social expectations.Female students were often discouraged from pursuing courses outside the liberal arts, and many career paths were closed to them despite their education.Women were often pressured into marriage, with some arguing that college made women better wives and mothers by teaching them practical skills.Due to the Great Depression, many women needed scholarships and grants to attend college and had to justify the cost of education. The U.S. government established the National Youth Administration (NYA) in 1935 to provide financial aid to students.
