1. Women took over many jobs when the men went to fight in Europe. They took a lot of initiative that had been denied to them when there were men around to take command at every level of society.

2. Woodrow Wilson was a white supremacist cretin but he was also an idealist and saw WWI as a fight between democracies and freedom against tyranny. It seemed (and of course it was) ridiculous to fight for freedom in Europe while holding (white) women back in America. WWII gave a similar boost to the black Civil Rights movement a generation later.
