How did the Roosevelt administration treat women and African Americans?

The Roosevelt administration, particularly during the New Deal era, made some strides for women and African Americans, but it also faced criticism for its limitations. While women were appointed to various positions and some New Deal programs provided jobs for them, they often received lower pay and faced discrimination. African Americans benefited from certain New Deal programs, yet they were frequently marginalized and faced systemic racism, with many programs reinforcing existing inequalities. Overall, while there were some advancements, both groups often encountered significant barriers and inequities during this period.
