After the war some women continued their war-time jobs and others returned to pre-war reform efforts. President Woodrow Wilson, impressed with women’s war-time efforts, addressed the U.S. Congress on September 30, 1918, saying “This war could not have been fought if it had not been for the services of the women wherever men have worked and upon the very edges of battle itself. We shall deserve to be distrusted if we do not enfranchise them with the fullest possible enfranchisement.” In other words, he said, “Give Women the Vote.”
