Why did suburbs in the United States grow in the period after World War II?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: lack of jobs in urban areas due to economic recession sent Americans looking for jobs in suburbs.
Answer 2
Answer:

The main reason why suburbs in the United States grew in the period after World War II is that growing families moved out of crowded urban areas to seek more space. Although most jobs were located in cities, the access to cars and public transportation allowed people to move farther away from their jobs. As the economy improved after the war, and many babies were born (baby boomers), new families wanted to enjoy nicer houses with more space. As they had the money to afford them, new developments were built in areas outside of the urban centers, where more space was available. This exodus was predominantly of wealthy, white American families.

Answers

The correct answer is: "suffragettes"

The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was a movement integrated only by women that functioned in the UK between 1903 and 1917, claiming for voting rights for women. They used civil disobedience and direct action techniques to make the demands visible: they organized demonstration, broke glass in official buildings, did hunger strikes, occupied houses and churches, etc.
