Despite what you may believe, 1920 wasn't all flappers and jazz bands. The year saw some major events that would go on to shape history.
The 19th Amendment guaranteed women’s right to vote, but the women who fought for decades for that right are often overlooked by history. Here are their stories.
The 1920s marked the beginning of an unprecedented era of freedom for women. Not only did they gain the right to vote in 1920, but women also began to play a more active role in sports, social life and even the workplace. In accordance with their changing roles in society, women adopted new fashions that permitted them more freedom of movement than the tight-laced Victorian and Edwardian garments they had previously worn.

“On this date in 1920, the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing women the right to vote. 98 years ago, women finally and rightfully gained the right to vote. Today we celebrate suffrage and advocate against inequality. #19thAmendment #OnThisDay”
The women's power movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as women began advocating for their right to vote and participate in politics. This led to the suffrage movement and the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. The movement continued to gain momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, with the rise of the feminist movement and women's liberation. This led to important advancements in women's rights, including the right to work and receive equal pay, as well as access to reproductive healthcare. Today, the women's power movement continues to advocate for gender equality and the recognition of women's contributions to society.
