widely believed this would be an important turning point in the continuing struggle for gender equality (Perry, 1993). However, the euphoria was short-lived because as the 1920s and 1930s
would prove, "The winning of female suffrage did not mark the end of prejudice and discrimination against women" (Perry, 1993, p. 36). Female suffragettes fervently hoped that winning the
vote would be a significant stepping stone toward attaining full participation in the political process. While women did run for political office on both state and federal levels during
the 1920s and 30s, the major parties were unwilling to back them because of the contention they had little or no chance against an experienced male politician (Perry, 1993).
Although Eleanor Roosevelt had become the most visible woman in American politics during the late 1920s, while her husband was governor of New York, it was his position, along with
her own lofty social status, that enabled her to actively participate in such groups as the League of Women Voters and the Womens Trade Union League (Perry, 1993). For
the average woman, the political sphere remained an exclusive "mens only" club. By 1930, there were only 13 women holding congressional seats, and more than half of those were
