From working girls in growing cities to flappers, Miss America, the Harlem Renaissance, and women athletes, the decade was exciting. But the 1920s began with profound conservatism and ended with the collapse of the American economy.

This final push for women's suffrage saw pageants, parades, marches, boycotts, silent sentinels, hunger strikes, in addition to all the tactics used before. When World War I broke out, women did not back down as they had during the Civil War, escalating the attention to the movement. Women's suffrage eventually passed as a war measure.

Indigenous people responded differently depending on the location and their unique history. Two great examples are US imperialism in Hawaii and the Philippines, where important and powerful women resisted US expansion, all while American women took up the "White-Woman's Burden."
