Gustafson (1997) shows that women vigorously define their role in political parties from the 1880s to 1920. Traditionally viewed as nonpartisan, women generally formed auxiliaries to the Republican and Democratic parties. The formation of the [[Progressive Party]] in 1912 offered women a chance for equality. Progressive party supporter [[Jane Addams]] openly advocated women's partisanship. After the Progressive Party loss in 1912, partisan women continued to form auxiliaries in the major parties. After 1920, inclusion and power in political parties persisted as issues for partisan women.  [[Suffragist]]s shifted from an emphasis on their right to vote to a new emphasis on the need for women to purify politics and guide policy toward education. The suffrage movement gained strength during the [[World War I|World War]], and at the end women received the vote, in a major change in the rules of the game.
