: Does anybody know if there were any age or other restrictions placed on people wishing to enter the USA to work in the 1920s, especially in regard to women.<p>: Brian Barry<p>There was a significant change in immigration policy under an Act passed in 1924. Although I'm now unfamiliar with that law, it stayed substantially in effect until about 1963. The 1924 Act had , among other things, a quota system by originating country with a strong tilt towards western and northern Europe.
