Women's right in 1920's

People in the 1920's were so used to the women being at home, taking care of the children, cleaning, and making food. They were not allowed to work or even go to school. They had to be covered up the whole time. They had long hair and did not wear much make up. They were called the flappers and these girls would wear skirts and dresses that went over their knees. Hair was short and were allowed to style their hair. They wore a lot of make up, and were allowed to go to work and school. Pretty much the complete opposite of the other women. They would go to parties, smoke, and even drink. The girls were allowed to date but the 'traditional' girls were not allowed to. The traditional girls thought very badly about the flapper girls. Parents would still get upset with them because no one could control them. This relates kind of to now, because girls now still drink, smoke, and party. But others dress differently, don't party, or drink.

  1. I think the sudden difference in women that came about in the 20's was really interesting. I think it was also upsetting that the traditional girls thought badly of the flappers just because they were different and modern. I'm glad that our culture has become a lot more open-minded since then.
