Explanation:

The Awakening is an illustration created by Henry Mayer (shown below). It appeared during Empire State Campaign, a referendum held in 1915 on a proposed amendment to the New York State constitution that would have granted women the right to vote. However, New Yorkers voted against the referendum, and women across the US gained the right to vote in 1920.

We can see that women's rights increased and their roles went through important changes between the 1890s and the 1950s. More occupations became available to women during this time (e.g. in 1910, the first policewoman was appointed in Los Angeles), and women could now hold important positions (Rebecca Latimer Felton became the first woman US senator in 1922). These are only some of the changes in the lives of women that took place during the first half of the 20th century.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
