At the same time, however there are now many more women who have created role reversal than ever before, becoming the breadwinners
U.S. Women in 1930s-1940s Women's History and 19th Amendment On August 26, 1920, Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby quietly signed the Nineteenth Amendment into law. By guaranteeing all Americans the right to vote "irrespective of sex," the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment capped more than half a century's worth of struggle by finally recognizing a woman's right to vote. The Nineteenth Amendment was an important milestone in women's rights. However, the suffragettes who
