About John Brengman Expertise I am a history major in college and I am a politcs and current events junkie, so I can take a look at almost any situation in politics or the news and evaluate it against current trends in the countries involved, or how a given situation reflects the history of the contries involved. My specialization in history is American and European history, but I have also had a few courses dealing with Asia, and the Middle East.
Experience I have had classes dealing with US History, European History, the History of Mexico, History and Politics of Asia, and the War in Vietnam.

Question Hi John! can you please tell me How were women and minorities represented in the 20's.
Thank you.
Answer ^.^
I believe that both women and minorities had reached a plateau in their representation, at least in the United States.
See, in the state I live, women were given the vote in 1898, but that was because there were not enough men to reach the population level required for statehood.
Then by the 1940s and our involvement with WWII, women were VERY involved with working on the homefront to allow the men to fight the war, but on the other hand, African-Americans often were the victims of discrimination within the armed forces, a situation which led to quite a few deaths at the Port Chicago munitions facility during the war.
However, one step forward that was taken during the period of the early 20th Century was that the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified on August 26, 1920, giving women the right to vote.
