Despite the fact that the 1920s harbored a revolutionary time for the rights of women in the United States, many of these rights were not upheld equally.

Many of the women in The Great Gatsby are symbols for the suffrage movement. This is most noticeable through the way that the women dress in more "provocative" clothing and how some of the women are still very submissive towards the men of the novel (Owens).

While the right to vote made women as a whole much more independent, white women definitely reaped more of the benefits. Black women did not have as much economic mobility as white women had because they faced an even harder time when it came to obtaining jobs or even just having enough money to support themselves or their families. This remained a major issue until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and is still a pressing issue today (Williamson).
