  b. married women were rarely favored for jobs in New Deal agencies.
  c. social and economic programs of the New Deal maintained or reaffirmed women's traditional roles as wives or mothers.
  d. social and economic programs of the New Deal tended to provide more opportunities to men than women.
  e. many men were required to assume significant child rearing responsibility because of the millions of women who went to work for New Deal agencies.
