The Twenties Woman

1. Note two ways women's fashions changed.

Two ways women's fashion changed were that they had bright, no-waisted dresses that went an inch above the knees and skin-toned silk stockings. These modern fashionable women, mostly young women, were called flappers.

2. Note two ways women's social behavior changed.

Two ways women's social behavior changed were they could smoke outside in public and have dates that could go on for whenever they wanted to get married, like nowadays.

3. Note two words that describe the attitude reflected by these changes.

Disgust and Distaste

4. Note one way women's work opportunities improved.

One way women's work opportunities improved was since big businesses needed clerical workers like typists for keeping files in order, finances, and etcetera.

5. Note two ways women's home and family life improved.

Two ways women's home and family life improved were they could go out to work instead of being cooped up in a home, and there was sliced bread and stores that had ready made clothing which made it easier for women because they didn't have to sew or make their own bread that they had to slice.

6. Note three negative effects that accompanied women's changing roles in the 1920s.

Three negative effects that accompanied women's changing roles in the 1920's were it was hard for women to work and have children to take care of, they still had lower wages than men in the workplace, and the "modern teenagers" made it hard for women to take care of their children and make them polite.
