The book, Beyond Suffrage; Women in the New Deal, presents the role of women in the 1930’s in a much different light than many people think of it. The goal of this book is to enlighten the reader as to what role women played in politics during the New Deal. Because of it’s broad view I have taken several specific examples from the book and elaborated on them in order to give you a better understanding.      The author, Susan Ware, begins by laying the groundwork for the women’s network. During the 1930’s, many different organizations began to evolve to include women in their decision-making. The backbone to this movement seems to lie deep within the White House. The First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, held a great deal of influence in decisions regarding women and their role.

Deciding that he's had enough of  Pencey, his fourth school that he'd failed, he goes to Manhattan three days  before his scheduled return to home, not wanting to inform his parents that he'd  been expelled and sent back. He explores the city, calls up some old friends,  gets nicked by the elevator operator, and gradually becomes bitter about the  world and people. He then visited his sister Phoebe. After fleeing from the  house of Mr. Antolini, his former English teacher, because of mistaking his  actions for a homosexual overture, Holden went to Phoebe's school and sent her a  note telling her he was leaving home and to meet him at the museum. When Phoebe  arrived, Holden angrily refused her request to take her with him and she ignored  to speak to him. He then took her across the park to a carousel, bought her a  ticket and watched her ride.
