After women were enfranchised in 1919 the Relief Society felt that more needed to be done to achieve women's rights. 'During the 1920s the National Women's Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated at the forefront of one of the country's most important pieces of social legislation. From 1921 to 1928 the Relief Society lobbied in state and federal chambers, allied itself with several noted American reformers, and became widely recognized as an important progressive leader in the cause of maternity and infant health care through its extensive efforts in support of the national Sheppard-Towner Act.
