1. I think that this would have had a positive influence on the movement. I think it is silly to only focus on one group of women, especially women who are already well to do, even though these women are oppressed, they are still considered "privileged" due to there class status. Personally I don't want to listen to the privileged complain about anything being "unfair". I think the movement would have benefited from the voices of the working class much more than it did from the upper class. I would sympathize much more with a working woman who is treated unfair in the home and work place/society, than non working upper class women complaining about inequality, who wants to hear the rich complain about anything? Not me.
Personally I am not sure whether this would change anything at home or in the work force. The public might hear their cries and notice that an injustice is being done, but there are still husbands/employers who are stuck in their ways and aren't going to change the routine because their wives/employees received some attention from the media. Unless  their was some kind of government interaction forcing employers to raise wages and husbands to switch up the routine at home.
2. The working class and the colored were the women who were silenced. Honestly I don't think we would see much international/global changes. I am not a fan of interfering with other countries issues, we have enough issues here to be dealt with and I see it as wasting effort and resources that could be spent fixing things on our own soil, maybe the movement would have worked better here if we didn't spend time worrying about other countries problems.
3. I don't think that women who stay home and take care of the household chores get depressed, unless they are being forced to do it. Maintaining a household can be one of the toughest, most time consuming jobs out there, especially if there are children involved. This job requires women to be the chef, housekeeper, disciplinarian, and if the kids are below school age or home schooled she is also the teacher and caretaker. If you took all of these jobs being preformed, and put a job title on it along with a wage, these women should be getting paid more than most men. This might be depressing for them if they do all of the work and the husband shows no appreciation, but I do believe that women who choose to do this, take pride in it and hopefully it is rewarding for them.
In regards to the issue of men and women's pay, I'm pretty sure that the issue isn't that women get paid less then a man doing the same job, but women tend to work in jobs that aren't as high paying as jobs that men typically have. To me this isn't an issue of unequal pay, but maybe an issue of men dominating certain career fields that women could be involved in, but instead are somewhat "forced" into jobs that pay less. The issue of lower wages for women might have been prevalent in the past but I don't think that is the problem now.
