First wave feminism ended around 1920, because the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, giving women the vote. First wave feminism had largely focused on getting the vote. Carrie Chapman Catt, one of the leaders of the Suffrage Movement (within first wave feminism), had in fact desired to make the suffrage movement so central to the first wave feminist movement, that she had bribed newspapers and used contacts in the press to get articles about other aspects of the women's movement removed, so that suffrage was the only issue focused on, in order to make it stronger. After suffrage was achieved, no other movements within first wave feminism really had any momentum, support, visibility, or resources, since so much had been thrown behind the Suffrage Movement, so first wave feminism ended, adn gave way to second wave feminism in the 1960s.

Has modern feminism lost its principles?

Some critics have argued that modern feminism has lost its principles. However, feminism is not a stationary idea, and has to change in order to continue to be useful. Feminism has gone through many phases or waves since its advent in the United States, from First Wave Feminism all the way to Fourth Wave Feminism. Just within the U.S. feminism has changed from a movement focused on getting women the vote, and from being a movement largely run only by white, middle-class straight women, to a feminism that attempts to be more inclusive to all women, regardless of their race, ability, sexuality, religion, class and other identities. Feminism has branched into numerous subsets, such as eco-feminism, radical feminism, and (Multi)Cultural feminism, in an attempt to acknowledge all women and all their experiences. Feminism in different countries takes different forms and means different things. So feminism has changed in many ways since its advent, but it has not lost its principles. Feminism still seeks to bring equality to women, and dismantling, and dismantling oppressive institutions, which are what its principles have always been.
