In a study encompassing American history from the colonial period to the 1870s, the author examines the protean identity of white working-class women, their often courageous struggles for recognition and survival, and their interactions with other elements of American society. "Vividly written, informative, and based on an impressive array of primary and secondary sources, If All We Did Was to Weep at Home . . . offers a synthesis that women's historians and labor historians will find useful." —Library Journal

On March 6, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt, less than forty-eight hours after becoming president, ordered the suspension of all banking facilities in the United States. How the nation had reached such a desperate situation and how it responded to the banking "holiday" are examined in this book, the first full-length study of the crisis.Although the 1920s had witnessed a wave of bank failures, the situation worsened after the 1929 stock market crash, and by the winter of 1932-1933, complete banking collapse threatened much of the nation. President Hoover's stopgap measures proved totally inadequate, the author shows, and by March 4, the day of Roosevelt's inauguration, thirty-four states had declared banking moratoriums. Of special interest in this study is Ms. Kennedy's examination of relations between Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
