In this novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee puts into context what it was really like in the 1930’s for not only women but also for men. There were many times where men and women could not do the same jobs and they were treated very differently. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout states in the text, “ We lived on the main residential street in town-- Atticus, jem, and I, plus Calpurnia our cook.”(6) Being a cook was more of a womens job and since Jem and Scout did not have a mother Calpurnia was their family cook. In the 1930’s women were usually the ones that stayed inside and did the cooking and the cleaning, while the men were out working at their own job or their working out in the fields.
