Perhaps the largest single reform movement of the progressive era is the fight for women's suffrage, a movement which attracts support from both men and women. Most states grant women some voting rights before passage of 19th amendment, acknowledging the major changes that had occurred in family and work lives of women, and in their education. The South with its history of opposition to federal involvement in franchise issues offers the only real resistance to women's suffrage. The amendment granting women the right to vote is finally passed by a fragile coalition of supporters. Although people expect the election of 1920 to be revolutionary because women will be voting, the results reveal few changes.
