For example, women found themselves more and more able to connect with one-another due to the restructuring of social relations. Similarly, both the traumas and the opportunities created by the continued, rapid industrialization of the United States during the twentieth century appear to have fostered environmental contention. In a fashion similar to increasing industrialization, a growing percentage of the population inhabiting urban centers appeared to foster mobilization. The cases do not demonstrate this identically, however. The Suffrage case appears to have coalesced during a century with a relatively stable rate of growth.
Environmentalism appears to have growth out of a decreasingly steep rate of growth.
That said, the relationship between increasing urbanization and the movements, however, may present one of the clearest correlations discussed. This ferment increased as the percentage of the population residing in cities increased. Literacy rates show similarly little variation between the cases. The world-system also seems to have played into the creation of the movements investigated. Additionally, global accumulation appears to have been a factor.
