At the turn of the 20th century, the majority of employed women served as domestic servants. However, women made progress in gaining control over their finances and property, as well as obtaining custody of their children after divorce. By 1896, four states allowed women to vote: Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah. Furthermore, women and women's organizations were actively involved in advocating for various social and reform causes, such as suffrage promotion, improved education, child labor regulation, women's role in unions, and the prohibition of alcohol.
