In the United States, World War I played a role in women's suffrage. Since Woodrow Wilson became a wartime president, people did not expect women to picket him, but they did anyway. Public outrage caused the women to be arrested, but when word got out of the treatment they were receiving in jail, public opinion turned, and the women were released. When Woodrow Wilson finally came to his senses and began supporting women's suffrage, he called it a war measure.
