How the Women View the Presidential Campaign
A Massachussetts official argues for Hoover in 1932, invoking women’s wartime support, the Great Depression’s depth, and fears of Roosevelt’s New Deal. It cites wartime voting, economic relief, and international trade impacts to urge women to back Hoover for stability and safety.
Campaign choices in 1932 redefine policy directions
Nellin Taylor Ross argues the 1932 race hinges on loosening or tightening federal policy. He frames Roosevelt as liberal and Hoover as reluctant to confront crises, claiming recovery depends on correcting basic causes and tariff policy that harms agriculture, industry, and labor amid the 1929 market crash.
