The first major change for women happened on June 4th, 1919, it was the 19th amendment was passed giving women the right to vote. Shortly after this women began to undergo both physical and behavioral changes. They cut their in a hairstyle later named the "bob", they began to wear knee high dresses which also helped women begin to be more sexually free. They also attended speakeasies and smoked cigarettes. While women did gain more freedom, they were still seen as less than men in working environments. But there were instances where a woman would get a job that was made for a man, causing the men going for said job would be surprised at the woman's potential. The 1920's were truly a turning point for women.

How These Changes Affected Society Today

The changes that happened for women i the 1920's are the reason women today have changed. While there is still unequal pay in work places for women against men, and women are still seen as objects by men, a lot has changed. One of the biggest changes for women in society these days is that more and more are becoming confident in their skin, whether it be their race, religion, body type, sex, etc. So many women are supporting other women in learning to love what you have, and its amazing. They are completely destroying stereotypes, that all women have to have the "perfect body" which is described as an hourglass. But really, every body is the perfect body. Another would be that more and more women are dominating in the work place, getting jobs as CEO's and bosses, which would be typically labeled as a "mans job". Women will never stop powering through and getting better and better.

Changing Role of Women in the 1920’s

1. https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/working-voting-women-1920s/

Some things that I liked about this website was that it was broken up into sections, each covering a different part of the change in a woman's role during the 1920's. It also has a few pictures of women that were involved, in factories, and in voting. Each section on the site go into detail with dates and times about the time of change.

2. http://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties

With this website, the first paragraph gives the reader some background information on how the time period was. Considering the changes with prohibition, political and social changes. One of the main paragraphs, "The 'New Woman' " talks about how the way women dressed changed, the 19th Amendment, and how some of the new inventions at the time helped make a woman's life easier.

A few of the things I really enjoyed about this particular website is that its all in a timeline format. It features dates and pictures of some of the events during the twenties that changed the way women live. One of the more important ones being that divorce was made easier, by this happening women now didn't have to stay at home with bad husbands.

This website opens with the statement "Things have certainly improved for women, but at the top of both industry and government the faces remain stubbornly male" which is true for both women today, and women in the twenties. In the twenties, many women were dissatisfied with the idea of working for men when those men didn't have respect for them and thought they were way beneath them. Women such as Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony and many others were upset with this ideal, that a man was held at such a higher status than a women simply because of they're gender. Susan B. Anthony once said "No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent." At the time woman's suffrage was a very heavy topic, but why? Why was it such a huge decision whether women got to have their basic human rights? Why does someones gender (or race) play such a huge role in how they are treated? Women now and then are viewed almost like tools, people use them and then when they're done they discard them.

Women's suffrage cover, Life, Oct. 29, 1920 (detail)

I chose this cover as a primary source because like the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. On this cover, we see Lady Liberty shaking the hand of a woman and saying "Congratulations". This relates to how women were fighting for suffrage, the right to vote. The drawing shows a mood that can be conveyed as relaxed, peaceful, and happy.

Collected commentary on the modern woman, 1919-1936
This newspaper from 1929 talks about the position of women at the time, and how things had changed. One of the more important key points in the paper is the place of women in working environments, one quote that I thought was particularly interesting was " I’ve been reading lately in the

papers about any number of the so called weaker sex that have been invading the particular fields that the men have been surest was their very own, and getting away with it, too especially in these United States." This quote is basically talking about how a lot of men were surprised when women were getting the jobs that they were so certain they were going to get, women had a great amount of hidden potential that they weren't able to use or show until then.

The newspaper article above focuses on how the younger generation in the 1920's changed the society at the time. In one paragraph its says, "Is society, especially the younger part of it, undergoing a revolution in morals, in manners, or in both?" This is saying that older generations were confused about how the younger generation were acting, including the way the women were dressing, smoking, and their behavior considering at the time women were becoming more sexually free.
