The representation of women really parallel what Lesueur is saying. Even though the the Production Code (morality censorship rules for movies) was written in 1930, many movies about immoral woman and other content continued to get made during the hardest years of the Depression, and it was fairly accurate too. Marlene Dietrich plays a woman in Blonde Venus that is so multifaceted, she is a single mother, she is desperate and on the brink of starvation, but she is also a &amp;quot;fallen woman&amp;quot;, someone who has turned to the company of men (glamorously and not so glamorously) in order to make a little money for her baby. This was what I remembered when the unemployed women looked on, un-phased by the&amp;#160; poor crazed girl. ~~jackie Reed&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I also found her statements at the end fascinating: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not the suffering of birth, death, love that the young reject, but the suffering of ... being a slave without the security of a slave&amp;quot; (p 149). Times were bad enough that the author was willing to imply that being a slave would have been better than being a free woman during the great depression. - Sarah H.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I also felt that the images that were very well conveyed through the writing. --Julie Robert&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

They showed a wide range of people with a variety of problems. I will say that the 12 year old girl is rather oblivious to the times. I know she&amp;#039;s only 12, but really - at that age you should be picking up on what&amp;#039;s going on around you. What interested me the most was the fact that the authors of these letters obviously thought that Elanor could personally help them. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;I know that the Roosevelts encouraged letter writing to themselves, but was there an perception throughout the country that the Roosevelts themselves could help&amp;#160; out individuals? Did people stop to think that if they were writing the Roosevelts for help, that other people might be to, and that no matter how wealthy or kind or caring they were, that it would be impossible for them to personally help everyone? Was there a vastly different relationship between the President and First Lady and the populace during this era, or was it just desperate times?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; - Sarah&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&#039;diff-marker&#039;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;I found the letters written to the Roosevelts rather intriguing.
