It seems to me that the more salient issue here--more than
the expansion of the franchise to women--revolves around the impact of the
First World War. Nonetheless, I am a European historian, and perhaps this
was not so much the case in the U.S. I would be interested in hearing the
comments of other listers on this most interesting subject.
