Was there something happening with women during the 1900s?

Question

i`m thinking like they were saying that they could do anything men could do. Some special event that took place?

Answer 1

The most important event for women was that a Constitutional amendment was passed giving women the right to vote.

The two world wars also provided work outside the home for women because the men were at war. At the end of WWII, many women were working in all kinds of jobs outside the home.

Answer 2
