On this episode of Our American Stories, before World War I, the suffrage movement had been fighting for decades without success. The war changed that. Women stepped into visible, demanding roles tied directly to the military and daily life at the front.

Kara Dixon Vuic, author of The Girls Next Door: Bringing the Home Front to the Front Lines, explains how those experiences shifted public opinion and gave political leaders a reason to act. Women’s wartime service became part of the case for granting the right to vote in the United States.
