Also they would picket the white house as their sign of protest and the NAWSA didnt agree with this. So this led to them seperating from the NAWSA in 1916 and ended up renaming themselves the National Women's Party. Over 200 of the women were arrested for their demonstration at the White House. Which led to Lucy Burns leading a hunger strike in 1917 which evenutally got people to force feed them and gained sympathy across the nation for women's rights.

In the 1970s the Bureau worked on getting women more employment and training along with putting them in jobs that were considered nontraditional and that payed more then the regular jobs did. Then in the 1990's the Bureau implemented the Work and Family Clearinghouse which suggests options to employers to help out their employees who might have a conflict with work and family responsibilities.
