How did World War 1 influence the passage of the nineteenth amendment?

World War I played a significant role in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States. As women took on essential roles in the workforce and served in various capacities during the war, their contributions highlighted their capabilities and strengthened arguments for gender equality. The war also shifted public perceptions about women's roles in society, leading to increased support for women's suffrage. Consequently, in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, reflecting the changing attitudes towards women's rights influenced by their wartime efforts.
