after graduating from law school, margaret hickey declined offers from multiple firms in kansas city and st. louis to open up her own office as a private practice. in her early career, hickey was heavily influenced by fellow lawyers florence allen and lena madesin phillips. she worked primarily in poverty law, due to the depression of the 1920s. in 1933, hickey established the margaret hickey school for secretaries at delmar and skinker in st. louis. her school became a long term success, which led hickey to not change her last name when marrying joseph strubinger in 1935. she later gave up her private practice work as a lawyer to focus on the school. hickey served on the advisory committee to the social security board in the 1930s. she then went on to served on an advisory committee for the office of emergency planning, which led to her role on the war manpower commission. in 1942, she was suggested to women's advisory committee of war manpower commission by secretary of labor frances perkins. she served as a chairman to this committee from 1942 to 1945. as chairman, she presided over a group of 14 women who advised on the most effective use of women workers in the war effort. hickey was frustrated by the lack of progress they made in regards to the amount of potential competent women had. this committee dealt with issues involved in recruiting women into the wartime economy. in this position, she was given the opportunity to travel the country and speaking to audiences. she argued that women needed more college seats in order to progress. her message to women was that in order for there to be meaningful change, women must leave the kitchen and enter the factory. this position made margaret hickey a prominent national figure and role model for women. in august 1944 she declared that the nation's "magnificent war production" was due to the "hidden army" of women working for victory.
