Women didnt have very much freedom during the twenties until the Women's Rights movement came around.Women finally were considered "persons" and they could get their own jobs and got the right to vote.The women and children were not owned by the husbands anymore and they were not considered property anymore.Women were allowed to have part of the land the men owned instead of them owning it all.The reason women got to become people was from the 'persons case' there were 5 women who fought for this case their names are Henrietta Muir Edwards, Emily F. Murphy, Nellie L. McClung, Louise C. McKinney and Irene Parlby.They fought for women so they would be treated like people and not be owned by their husband and be treated like objects you can give off or control what it does.
