Texas State Library and Archives Commission: Aftermath: A Fashionable Woman, Circa 1920

After women were given the right to vote in 1919, other aspects of women's lives began to evolve, one being women's dress. No longer confined by the restrictive fashions of the 19th century, women wore dresses, like the one shown here, that allowed them to move more freely. Includes a link to a 19th-century women's outfit for comparison purposes.
