Living in the 1920s, women faced many radical changes in “politics, the home, the workplace, and in education.” The most influential issue was women not being able to take part in politics, when they realized they should have rights because whoever ran the country made the decisions that would affect their own lives. Women and men followed certain gender roles that still exist today-- women take care of children at home, cook, clean, etc-- while men had more opportunities to work and gain a good education, and have more experience in business and politics. Many women, after high school, would go to an all women’s college to become nurses or teachers, since those were considered to be “suitable” professions.
