By the 1920's, post  World War I occurrence open opportunities for young American women. For instance, <em>The Flapper </em>was a new fashion with some natural elegance. Women wore hats, waistless dresses a little bit above the knees, silk stockings and sleek fashion shoes.

Regarding labor, many work opportunities were created due to the industrial economy in factories, offices and new professions.

The 60's really catapulted feminism and a new set of values for women. The Federal Drug Administration approved the firts <em>"Pill"</em> for birth control(1960), President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order called<em> "Commission on Status of Women</em>"(1961), and the "<em>Equal Pay Act</em>"(1963).

In 1970, <em>Title IX of Education Amendments</em> prohibits discrimination in schools. In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman seated on the Supreme Court. In 1993, the Supreme Court rules that sexual harassment in the workplace was illegal.

And finally, in 2005, Condoleezza Rice was the first black woman Secretary of State, and in 2017, Hillary Rodham Clinton ran for the Presidency of the U.S.
