Women went to Radcliffe College which was part of Harvard; however, they didn't receive a Harvard degree.

- The election of 1916 turned on two questions: the war in Europe and Women's Suffrage. Democratic Woodrow Wilson advocated for neutrality in foreign affairs and remain remained opposed to women's suffrage. Republican Charles Huges, however, urged entry into War while supporting women's suffrage. At this time, only 12 states enfranchised women, which gave women the right to vote in those states. Wilson narrowly won as he won 10 out of the 12 enfranchised states since the women voters mostly supported the peace movement (pg.45-46). Without these women voters, Wilson would have lost!!

She was the Progressive Era Feminist, charged with fighting evil on the behalf of democracy, freedom, justice, and equal rights of women. Marston used this comic as propaganda to combat the idea that women are inferior to men (pg.210-211). The villains she fought, like Dr. Psycho, all shared the opposition of women's rights (pg.217).

- In May 1942, during WWII with the help of the War Powers Act, FDR was able to create many agencies which sparked the economic boom, which got the U.S. out of an economic depression. The Women's Army Auxilary Corps was an agency created leading to around 150,000 women joining the army, freeing men for combat by filling non-combat jobs (pg.217). The labor force increased by 50% by mostly white women. Margaret Sanger wrote, "this corps appears to be the final realization of woman's dream of complete equality of men" (pg.218) The corps ends in 1978 as women were then able to go to the military.

- On August 26, 1970, a nationwide Women's Strike for Equality was held sponsored by the National Organization for Women. The protest focused on employment discrimination, political equality, abortion, free childcare, and marriage equality. In the late 1970s, the women's movement stalled as wages never reached parity, the social and economic gains were rolled back, and political and legal victories were within sight but never achieved. Then to add this hold-up, feminists were divided into (radicals and liberals) and "trashed" each other (pg.290).
