One of the biggest developments in the 1920"s was the birth control movement. "In the 1920"s women in all economic brackets gained greater ability to limit the number of their pregnancies," (Carnagie). As a result to this the dedicated work of Margaret Sanger the American Birth Control League came about. There were many birth control clinics opened in New York within the following years. This was then turned into the Planned Parenthood Federation in 1942.

"Bessie Smith, Mamie Smith, and Gertrude "Ma" Rainey are perhaps the most recognizable names of women blues singers of the 1920s," (Harrison).
There were about one hundred women preforming one stages and in clubs. Many women were sent on tour with well known signers and performers. Some were hired simply because of their physical appearance or ability to entertain. Although this is not a terrible thing, but it was pretty degrading to other women who had actual talent or were able to preform better than the "more attractive" women. "During the 1920s, more than one hundred women were recorded on labels ranging from Okeh, the pioneer of women's blues recordings, to Paramount, Columbia, and small labels such as Charles Pace and William Handy's unsuccessful Swan Records," (Harrison).

As mentioned, there were poor working conditions, and terrible pay, there was also questionable working hours. Working ten or more hours in a factory not only hurt the women, but at that time period, it hurt the family dynamic. Women were working long hours,  and on top of that they were still doing a lot at home. This included picking up their kids, cooking, sewing and cleaning up after their husband and kids. Even now, being able to balance the job of a mother and caretaker can get mixed up with work and they often impact each other.

Bryn Mawr College's Summer Schools for Women Workers in Industry was one of the most notable efforts to train women for new jobs in industry. It provided academic training, union-organizing skills and lessons in democracy to women recruited by unions. There was a huge trend in labor-force involvement by women.  Although these sound like positives, they were still working with low pay, poor conditions, and they were " undervalued".

A lot of things were changing for women in the 1920's. Gaining the right to vote and better education pushed a lot forward for women. Thing also meant that new ideals and morals were coming about and getting questions of support and opposing views on the daily. New freedoms were coming about and this was threatening for some, but for others it was the start to a new life. New social trends were starting and taking over.  New jobs and opportunities were available. Although women were gaining a lot, there was still a prejudice to a lot of these new opportunities.
