This was a big change as, before this period, women hadn’t been able to put forth ideas to even challenge legislation let alone contribute to the making of new laws.

People in society in some ways believed that god wanted life to run as women as the follower or to be inferior.

In the 1920’s women were considered nothing more than property of the men. Women were not allowed to have jobs or even have the ability to vote as we do today.

Moving Forward Michelle Oliveira HIS 204 George Aleman 10/19/2012 For centuries in America women were thought to be inadequate to that of men. Women were in charge of the cooking, the cleaning, raising children among other less than appealing tasks.

The women mainly had two big roles work in the factory or on the land. Both were successful during WWII, earning the women more respect for their work.

These and other accounts have attributed several characteristics to the "New Women" of the 1920s: they failed to vote as a block or in greater numbers than did men; their manners and morals differed sharply from those of previous generations; and their legal and economic position had so improved that for the first time in history women had become the social and economics equals of men (West, 1955).
