5. The Working Woman in the 1920s  The American Federation of Labor did not support the working woman. It did not want women competing for mens jobs.  The main jobs that were thought of as "feminine" were nursing and teaching. This all changed in the 1920s. More women were involved in clerical work, sales work, and some worked in the factories.  While the first generation of college-educated women entered professions in the 1920s, they found opportunities only in nurturing "womens professions," such as nursing, teaching, social work, and, within medicine, pediatrics.  Many women (in New York especially) went to work in the Garment District  By the late 1920s, the Garment District was home to half of the city’s garment plants.
