At the end of the Victorian Age, women became increasingly unsatisfied with their roles in the world. They sought out independence and a voice in the political world. Many middle and upper class women began to organize themselves and fight for suffrage. As some women were fighting for their rights in the streets, others began fighting for their rights in the workplace. More job opportunities were available to women at this time. They started to become secretaries, a role previously held by men. With typing skills, a woman could get a job in an office. This was a socially acceptable way to earn a living with better hours and pay than they could get as a maid. Because of this, many women and men started leaving their positions in service to the aristocracy for the cities and office jobs. This marked the beginning of the end of the aristocracy's way of life.

As more women began marching, picketing, and surviving in a male dominated workplace, women's clothing began to change. Their dresses became simpler, less fussy. Their skirts lost a lot of their fullness and rose up off the ground, becoming much more practical. Their clothes also often featured masculine details inspired by men's suits creating a more powerful, no nonsense appearance. In fact, throughout history, women have worn masculine inspired clothing to emphasis their strength. This was the case with the broad shouldered, sturdy clothing worn as women took care of the home front in WWII and with the shoulder-padded, suit inspired clothing of women climbing the corporate ladder in the 1980s.

Contrary to all this forward thinking clothing, was the hobble skirt. A hobble skirt was a long, tight skirt with no slit which made walking difficult. Some women were literally hobbling themselves by wearing them. The fashion didn't last long.

World War I and real change

World War I further broke down the existing social structure. People of all classes were stepping up for the war effort. Whether they got jobs or volunteered, women were more often getting out of the house. Men of all classes fought alongside each other. These men realized that the enemy didn't care what class they belonged to; neither did the Spanish Flu, which killed an enormous number of people just as the war was ending.

During the war, changes in fashion were quite straight forward. They were a direct result of the war. Many men, and some women, wore uniforms. Many civilian clothes featured military inspired details to give a sort of patriotic support. Upper class women who volunteered for the war effort wore more practical, work appropriate clothes day to day.

As the war ended, the survivors returned home wounded - both physically and mentally. They may have realized that there were things in life more important than maintaining a strict hierarchy in society. Those social conventions soon broke down.

In the 1920s, society began to be led not by the older aristocracy, but by the lucky upper-class young people who had survived the war. Their world views, no doubt, had been completely changed. The feeling that life ought to be lived to the fullest was abundant. They felt that it was no time to hold on to the strict rules of society. It was time to have fun. And they did. These young people went out to nightclubs, danced, and did drugs. Because of these new venues to party, social classes began mixing in a way that hadn't really happened before.

Society's relaxation was clearly shown through popular fashion. Women's clothing became less complicated. Again, this largely came down to practicality; many women no longer had servants helping them to take care of their homes. Women's fashion needed to be easier to take care of and possible to get in to without the help of a maid. Clothing also became less confining with girdles and brassieres replacing corsets and skirts becoming shorter. Skirts became so scandalously short that several American states attempted to create laws to control their length. The laws didn't work and skirts were just below the knee by the end of the decade.

The 1920s

Women's clothing in the 1920s began to further resemble menswear. Women deemphasized their curvy figures by wearing clothes that flattened their busts and straightened their hips. Cutting their hair short was the finishing touch to this popular new androgynous look. This may have been a 1920s version of what occurred with the suffragettes in the 1910s. By the end of the 1920s, the struggles of the suffragettes finally paid off as women in the US and UK could vote. The male-inspired clothing they wore may have been a reflection of the newfound power and independence they felt.

As the century wore on, from the longer skirts in the conservative 1930s to the mod and hippie looks of the 1960s, women's clothing continued to evolve based on their place in society and vice versa. Where we are in society always has, and always will, dictate what we wear.

How do you think World War I affected society?

"Let me note and try to refute two of the commonest arguments that are offered against this amendment. One is that women are already protected under the law and do not need legislation. Existing laws are not adequate to secure equal rights for women. Sufficient proof of this is the concentration of women in lower paying, menial, unrewarding jobs and their incredible scarcity in the upper level jobs. If women are already equal, why is it such an event whenever one happens to be elected to Congress?"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mr. Speaker, when a young woman graduates from college and starts looking for a job, she is likely to have a frustrating and even demeaning experience ahead of her. If she walks into an office for an interview, the first question she will be asked is, "Do you type?"

There is a calculated system of prejudice that lies unspoken behind that question. Why is it acceptable for women to be secretaries, librarians, and teachers, but totally unacceptable for them to be managers, administrators, doctors, lawyers, and Members of Congress.

The unspoken assumption is that women are different. They do not have executive ability orderly minds, stability, leadership skills, and they are too emotional.

It has been observed before, that society for a long time, discriminated against another minority, the blacks, on the same basis - that they were different and inferior. The happy little homemaker and the contented "old darkey" on the plantation were both produced by prejudice.

As a black person, I am no stranger to race prejudice. But the truth is that in the political world I have been far oftener discriminated against because I am a woman than because I am black.

Prejudice against blacks is becoming unacceptable although it will take years to eliminate it. But it is doomed because, slowly, white America is beginning to admit that it exists. Prejudice against women is still acceptable. There is very little understanding yet of the immorality involved in double pay scales and the classification of most of the better jobs as "for men only."

More than half of the population of the United States is female. But women occupy only 2 percent of the managerial positions. They have not even reached the level of tokenism yet No women sit on the AFL-CIO council or Supreme Court There have been only two women who have held Cabinet rank, and at present there are none. Only two women now hold ambassadorial rank in the diplomatic corps. In Congress, we are down to one Senator and 10 Representatives.

Considering that there are about 3 1/2 million more women in the United States than men, this situation is outrageous.

It is true that part of the problem has been that women have not been aggressive in demanding their rights. This was also true of the black population for many years. They submitted to oppression and even cooperated with it. Women have done the same thing. But now there is an awareness of this situation particularly among the younger segment of the population.

As in the field of equal rights for blacks, Spanish-Americans, the Indians, and other groups, laws will not change such deep-seated problems overnight But they can be used to provide protection for those who are most abused, and to begin the process of evolutionary change by compelling the insensitive majority to reexamine it's unconscious attitudes.

It is for this reason that I wish to introduce today a proposal that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years and that sooner or later must become part of the basic law of the land -- the equal rights amendment.

Let me note and try to refute two of the commonest arguments that are offered against this amendment. One is that women are already protected under the law and do not need legislation. Existing laws are not adequate to secure equal rights for women. Sufficient proof of this is the concentration of women in lower paying, menial, unrewarding jobs and their incredible scarcity in the upper level jobs. If women are already equal, why is it such an event whenever one happens to be elected to Congress?

It is obvious that discrimination exists. Women do not have the opportunities that men do. And women that do not conform to the system, who try to break with the accepted patterns, are stigmatized as "odd" and "unfeminine." The fact is that a woman who aspires to be chairman of the board, or a Member of the House, does so for exactly the same reasons as any man. Basically, these are that she thinks she can do the job and she wants to try.

A second argument often heard against the equal rights amendment is that is would eliminate legislation that many States and the Federal Government have enacted giving special protection to women and that it would throw the marriage and divorce laws into chaos.

As for the marriage laws, they are due for a sweeping reform, and an excellent beginning would be to wipe the existing ones off the books. Regarding special protection for working women, I cannot understand why it should be needed. Women need no protection that men do not need. What we need are laws to protect working people, to guarantee them fair pay, safe working conditions, protection against sickness and layoffs, and provision for dignified, comfortable retirement. Men and women need these things equally. That one sex needs protection more than the other is a male supremacist myth as ridiculous and unworthy of respect as the white supremacist myths that society is trying to cure itself of at this time.

1. Thesis: The ideal woman has changed throughout history, and with the switch into the 20th century when women were earning more of their rights, the ideal woman was to look elegant and young; yet to be in the work environment, women had to wear more reasonable clothing to move around in and dress more like a man to try to escape discrimination and harassment.

2. Introduction: During the 20th Century, activism became a very large portion of women's lives. Women's activism started before the 1900's, but they started to make a big difference as well in the 20th Century. As women were earning more rights in the workplace and equal opportunities for jobs, women started to struggle with the idea of what a woman should be. Many people saw the perfect woman as young, beautiful, and elegant, but when in the workplace, women had to wear very practical and simple clothing that looked more masculine so they would be taken more seriously. Women had to balance what society wanted them to look like and dress how they could be respected in the workplace. Because women were getting jobs in offices, they had look smart and strong but also people liked seeing women who looked elegant and beautiful. It became a struggle for women to be taken seriously but also dress in a way that society wanted them to in order to get better opportunities.

3. Paragraph 3: Activism of women at later 1900's: Speech by Shirley Chrisholm

"Let me note and try to refute two of the commonest arguments that are offered against this amendment. One is that women are already protected under the law and do not need legislation. Existing laws are not adequate to secure equal rights for women. Sufficient proof of this is the concentration of women in lower paying, menial, unrewarding jobs and their incredible scarcity in the upper level jobs. If women are already equal, why is it such an event whenever one happens to be elected to Congress?"

4. Paragraph 4: Clothing at later 1900's relating to those current events: image of woman as Vassar girl

4. Counterargument: On the other hand, some believe that women always have the choice on what they wear and should be themselves. Women are allowed to make their own choice on their clothing. These women chose to wear more practical clothing because it would be easier for them to work in, and they did not want to spend money on such luxurious items. Because women chose or possibly had to start working, they wanted to wear more reasonable clothes that they could move around in.

1. women chose to wear practical clothing

2. they were activists and made a difference, so it ended up being their choice

3. they didn't have to follow the idea of a woman

4. they were becoming more independent people and thinkers

5. they created their own activists groups, so they were definitely able to make a different and make their own choices

6. To counter the counterargument: although women could make their own choices and wear what they wanted to wear, the ideal woman was still set in everyone's mind and that did not change the harassment they received. Those who dressed more like the ideal women and acted like the ideal women were more desired as well.

7. (I used ideas from most of my sources)

5. Conclusion: Society has created an idea of what a woman should be, which often contradicted with the way they had to look and act like in the work environment. As women continued to be activists and create change, they were given more rights, but there is still an ideal woman that society has not been able to shake off. Unfortunately, women working in offices can result in harassment and they feel the way to be respected is to dress more masculine, which will make them look stronger and more powerful. Women may have still had a choice in what they wanted to wear, but society always has an idea of what people should look like. In this case, women in the 20th Century were seen as more elegant looking and were considered beautiful if they were young, slim, and white. This still continues today in our society which is why it is such an important topic because the ideal woman can shape the women we have today. Not to mention, sexual harassment is still occurring in the workplace, except more women are speaking up. The fact that women had to feel the need to dress more like men to get respect is very unfortunate. Luckily, women have continued to gain larger roles in politics and business or any industry they care about, but we still have quite a way to go.
