Women's lives in the early 1900s Women did not have the right to vote until 1920. What Amendment gave women the right to vote? Women who lived in the early 1900s were not much more than servants dictated to by their husbands and expected to obey them. Their lives were hard; farm women often worked alongside their husbands in the fields and also took care of meals, laundry, and children while many poor women living in the cities' slums worked in factories all day like their husbands, and then came home to take care of their families. This is not to say all men are bad, but to acknowledge women had very few rights back then, and very little decision making power.
