The changing role of women in 1920s America was embodied by the image of the "Flapper".
The suffrage groups did fight so hard to vote in the 1920s because they wanted representation. By choosing their own leaders their issues would be addressed.
The flapper symbolize change for women in the 1920s by allowing women to express their energetic, rebellious, bold, fun-loving sides.

The right to vote
Men were able to vote in the 1920s as long as they were older than 21. Women could vote if they were over 30, a law passed by the British Parliamant, the law was changed that women could vote at the age of 21 in 1928. African Americans could not vote until The Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The right to vote and participate in government
They got the right to vote in America in 1920; that was the big change.
The 19th Amendment was passed, giving women the right to vote
The role of women changed significantly in the 1920s. The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution gave women the opportunity to vote and take a more proactive role in politics. Women were allowed to attend colleges and universities throughout the country. More women were working outside of the home as well during this time.
Before 1920, many women could not vote, since they had not been given that right. In a few states (like Colorado or Montana), women were allowed to vote in local or state elections; but it was not until 1920 that women across the United States won the right to vote in all federal elections, including for congress, president and vice president. But even though many women were pleased to finally gain suffrage (an old word that means "permission"), not every woman understood how to vote, or even who to vote for; women had been discouraged from learning about politics, and although some women learned about it anyway, the majority were feeling overwhelmed. That is why in 1920-1921, the League of Women Voters was created: its mission was to teach the newly enfranchised women of America about the process and help them to learn about politics. This, of course, was a gradual process, and that is probably why the number of female voters increased slowly throughout the 1920s.
Women were granted the right to vote in the United States in 1920. Less conservative clothes for women, including short hair and short skirts, became popular in the 1920s.
In the 1920s, Canadian women experienced a shift towards greater independence and social freedom. This was influenced by the rise of the suffragette movement, which led to women gaining the right to vote in federal elections in 1918. Women also began to work outside the home more frequently, challenging traditional gender roles.
