What two events weakened the women's movement after 1920?

Since the 1970s, many more women have pursued

college degrees and careers outside of the home than

did so in previous decades. Since the women’s move-

ment began, two-career families are much more com-

mon than they were in the 1950s and 1960s, although

a need for greater family income due to the increased

cost of living may also be a factor.
