The Twenties Woman

1. Note two ways women's fashions changed.
They no longer wore ankle length dresses. They wore dresses that went above their knees. They also cut their hair short.
2. Note two ways women's social behavior changed.
They were allowed to drink, smoke, and talk about sex in public. Women of the middle class also thought of their marriage with their husbands as an equal partnership.
3. Note two words that describe the attitude reflected by these changes.
The Double-Standard
4. Note one way women's work opportunities improved.
They were able to get paying jobs like being a secratary, teachers, nurses, and librarians.
5. Note two ways women's home and family life improved.
They didn't have a much manual labor because of objects that were now buyable like clothes and food and They were able to focus more on their family because of this.
6. Note three negative effects that accompanied women's changing roles in the 1920s.
The double-standard of sex versus men and women, the stress of working and taking care of the family, and They also weren't taken as seriously in the work force.
