Paper Summary:

The paper reveals that in times of crisis, or in unusual circumstances, traditional gender roles are often ignored or relaxed. The paper illustrates this phenomenon by looking at the Suffragette Movement of the First World War era, the Second World War and the Women's Rights Movement of the nineteen-sixties and nineteen-seventies.

From the Paper:

"The Suffragette Movement of the early twentieth century, which culminated in American women winning the right to vote, had been slowly gaining support among women for decades, but little progress was made until the First World War. This global conflict swept away traditional beliefs and values, and produced a brief era of idealism and liberalism. Millions of American women challenged prevailing attitudes about gender roles and rejected the centuries-old conviction that they should play no role in politics or government simply because they were women. (Collins 304-305)"
