Women's Rights Movement Parade; Oskaloosa, Iowa, Circa 1910

The Women's Rights Movement was not just a scene in big cities like New York or Chicago in the early 1900's, but rather it was a movement that reached all parts of the country. From big cities to rural America, the voices of women could be heard by all regarding the all important issue of voting. Finally, on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. Without parades such as as the one seen here in downtown Oskaloosa, Iowa, it is unclear how long it may have taken for women to obtain the right to vote.
