Women campaigned for change on multiple issues such as prohibition contraception and voting rights. Women’s civil rights did advance during 1865-1992, which benefited them. However activism was not the sole reason for the advancement of civil rights for women. Modernization throughout the time period is a factor of the advancement of civil rights for women since separate spheres, which was an ideology where men belonged in the public sphere that refers to the world of politics, economy and law.
Steven Buechler presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of organizations in advancing the cause of the woman suffrage movement (1866 - 1920) and the modern women’s movement. While the early movement was primarily a struggle to gain the right to vote, the contemporary movement has focused on equal rights in every sphere of life. Although large and prominent women’s national organizations such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in the suffrage movement and the National Organization for Women (NOW) in the contemporary women’s movement possessed the resources and the organization skills to lobby the government, they were often estranged from the daily needs of women from minority races and working class.

As we might say today, women’s ‘public image’ changed and improved,” says Constance Rover, a historian. Part of the reason why the war was key to women gaining the vote in 1918, was because of changing opinions towards women. “Surely a land fit for heroes to live in might include a place for a few heroines as well?” says Constance Rover. Women had proved themselves useful which was leading to greater equality with men.

This really helped the Abolitionist movement and help women as well because it represented equality thoughts as being apart of God’s plan.
