Abstract:
This article examines the feminist movement of the 1920s, specifically the decline of feminism during the decade, first via the historiography of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and then through the ideas, values, and ideology that informed the range of women's activities in a changing social and political context, with the North Carolina League of Women Voters serving as a case study.
