Answer 1

Americans attempted to reconcile women's new roles with their ideas of femininity and masculinity by embracing women's new roles and redefining femininity and masculinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the time period in question, Americans attempted to reconcile women's new roles with their ideas of femininity and masculinity by embracing women's new roles and redefining femininity and masculinity. Women were increasingly demonstrating their ability to compete in the marketplace, agitating for the vote, and advocating for the eradication of establishments like saloons and gambling houses. These changes challenged traditional gender roles, but some Americans embraced and redefined femininity and masculinity to accommodate these new roles.
