Answer:

Populism emerged as a prominent movement in the 1870s among especially the peasants of the western and southern states, which was characterized by demands for social radical legislation against the trusts and for the benefit of the smaller farmers.

At first, this movement became noticeable within both the old political parties, Republicans and Democrats, but from 1890 the demand for the organization of an independent third party started within farmers' associations.

One of these came into being in Kansas and gained an entire Union organization in 1892. The then-Populist Party, whose core was small farmers and industrial workers, demanded free coinage of silver, 8 hours workday, progressive income tax, land reform, nationalization of railways, telegraphs and telephone, referendums and more.  

The party gathered over a million votes in the presidential election and got 22 presidential electors elected. It co-operated in the 1896 and 1900 presidential elections with the Democrats with William Jennings Bryan as joint candidate. However, the Populist Party declined rapidly during the following years, with most followers instead returning to the old parties.

hjlf

There were not just one event, but many important ones that sparked the independence of women and with that, a modern era of societal values.

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).

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.
