I think that best opportunity opened to women during the World War I era had been the enactment/enforcement of the laws regarding rights of women to vote during elections. This is because there had been the scope to obtain support from all the citizens of America irrespective of the gender of the citizens. There could be more scope for the enhancement of participation of women in expressing their thoughts freely. The lives of women had become more liberal and they had been shown more respect with their individual identities. There had been enhancement in the percentages of voices raised by women to not be oppressed on the basis of their racial identities/immigrant statuses.
