Question

Why do they call the 30 years between 1900 and 1930, the Women's era?

How did impact the experiences of women of different classes or ethnicities?

Answer 1

The time period between 1900 - 1930 is specifically known as the women's era because this time period was characterised by increasing importance to the role of women which was ignored and restricted in past and started to emerge during this time period. By 1960's women's role was seen as much more than to handle and manage the households and were given a consideration to be presented as successful in male roles too such as politics and government. During this era the various authors, theorists and writers started to emphasize the distinctive strengths demonstrated by women in the community with special concern for minorities among women to be elected as voter. . The era witnessed the Suffrage movement where women received the right to vote. The progressive growth and reform movement also took place which altogether changed and elevated the position of women as they started to contribute in decision making and became a part of elections.The female activists began to come forward to lay down the importance of women growth for the development of economy or community. Therefore this era did not only gave women the right to vote but changed the position of women but also transformed the mental outlook of men to accept this change.

This era put a drastic impact on the women belonging to different social classes and ethnicities. The middle class urban women were quick to accept the changes taking place while the heavily rural areas and low classes of society were hostile to accept it as a progression. The women among the upper classes and liberal ethnicities started to experience freedom in movement, involvement in decision making, part in managing work and even attended work places to earn money for family. While the growth in sub rural, rural parts and conservative ethnic groups was slow. The women experienced the right to participate in elections and became conscious about their right to choose in any aspect of their life. Many new modernist women characters emerged such as "the flapper" belonging to upper class who changed the norms of dressing for women. The African Americans women moved from rural South of America to the cities of industrial North and this was significant to the growth of new ethnic group also .
