1. Based on the excerpt below and what you have learned what is the “great victory” reference to?

Access Topic 13: Prosperity and Depression, Lesson 2: Social Change in American History. Read Changes in Women’s Lives. Hint: Think about how the make of those elected into office might change based on women voting.

Answer 1

The "great victory" referenced in the excerpt is likely a reference to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote in the United States. This significant social change allowed women to participate in elections and have a say in the democratic process, potentially leading to changes in the makeup of those elected into office.
