The history of the washing machine began in 1908 when the first washing machine was made. The first washing machine was called the Thor Washer and was made by the Hurley Machine Company of
Chicago.  The machine was designed to put clothes into the wooden
drum, using a lever to start the machine. Developing into the 1920s washing machines became more advanced and common in an average house. This made life easier for the women and children as it washed the clothes for them instead of them having to wash every piece of clothing by hand or on a washboard.
Controversy surrounds the inventor of the electric clothes washer but the earliest photo evidence shows a picture of a woman sitting by a “Nineteen Hundred Company” washing machine that included an electric motor in the November 1906-April 1907 issue of “Cassier’s Magazine.”  The story was printed several years before Alva J. Fisher took out US patent 966677 on April 9, 1910 for an electric washing machine. Due to Fisher’s patent, many credit Fisher as being the original inventor, however, the earliest inventors remain unknown. Alva Fisher is credited, however, with creating an electric washing machine in 1916. By 1922, Maytag Corporation had invented a washing machine with an agitator.

Flappers were either famous or infamous young women who stood out by their fashionable, yet revealing outfits. They mainly wore short, calf-revealing dresses with lower necklines, though they preferably chose the straight and slim dresses. The ladies also flaunted around in their high heel shoes and tossed aside their own corsets in favor of bras and lingeries. Also going bold, they applied rogue, lipstick, mascara and many other cosmetics and favored their original short haircuts such as the bob.

The photographs of Flappers are included of young, stylish, party girls who attend and dance at secluded bars.

The Harlem Renaissance was the development of the Harlem neighborhood in New York City as a black cultural mecca in the early 20th Century and the subsequent social and artistic explosion that resulted. Lasting roughly from the 1910s through the mid-1930s, the period is considered a golden age in African American culture, manifesting in literature, music, stage performance and art.

They also sought to break free of Victorian moral values and bourgeois shame about aspects of their lives that might, as seen by whites, reinforce racist beliefs. Never dominated by a particular school of thought but rather characterized by intense debate, the movement laid the groundwork for all later African American Literature and had an enormous impact on subsequent black literature and consciousness worldwide

During the beginning of the 19th century, as drunkenness and its social consequences plagued the cities, temperance society groups formed in Great Britain and United States. These societies were typically religious groups that hold sponsors to lectures and marches, they sang songs, and even published tracts that warned about the damaging consequences of alcohol.

The Temperance Movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries was an organized effort to encourage moderation in the consumption and abuse of intoxicating liquors or press for abstinence.

The movement’s ranks were mainly conjured up of women who, with their children, had endured the effects of their husbands consequences of their irresponsible drinking habits. For a matter of fact, alcohol was blamed for many of society’s demerits, among them caused severe health problems, destitution and crime rates to increase.

Throughout the 1920s, jazz music evolved into an integral part of American popular culture. The “primitive” jazz sound that has originated in New Orleans diverged, and even appealed to those of the echelon part of society.

For the fifty years prior to 1927, the struggles in the Colorado mines had been a wave flashpoint for labour relations throughout the mining industry. Many strikes, aborted uprisings and confrontations between miners and mine owners, and the state militia.

The presence of the state militia in many strikes not only made the  coal industry disputes memorable and recognized the miners for stepping up for what's right and for their heroic actions.

In 1917, 121 miners had been killed in an accident at a mine in Hastings, two years later 31 miners were killed in explosions at the Oakdale and Empire mines and in 1922 and 1923, 27 were killed in mines in Sopris and Southwestern.

Even though individuals were still receiving accidents that occured at the mines. Conditions with pay has not gotten better, and many miners were being paid in scrip, money which was only redeemable at company owned stores in mining towns.Workers had to pay for their own tools, blasting powder and were not paid for "dead work", which was work that was not directly mining for coal, but important to the mine nonetheless, such as timbering supports to keep the mine safe.

The history of the vaccum cleaner began in 1860, invented by an American inventor, Daniel Hess. He called his invention "carpet sweeper" instead of "vacuum." His first machine had a rotating brush, and two "water chambers" in order to capture the dust and dirt. Developing in the mid-1920, vacuum cleaner became more efficient and more successful in an average house. For instance, in 1920 Air-way Sanitizor of Toledo, Ohio introduced the first vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. In 1924, a Swedish inventor, Gustaf Sahlin, introduced the Electrolux tank vacuum cleaner to the United States. Two years later, Hoover, the vacuum company developed a positive agitation vacuum that increased the dirt removal efficiency. Vacuum cleaner in the 1920s made easier for the women and children. They don't need to use a broom anymore.
Although the vacuum cleaner had been invented in the early 20th century, the mass production and sales of vacuum cleaners did not take off until the economic boom that followed the decade after the First World War (1914-1918). This Hoover vacuum model 700 was produced between 1926 and 1929 and was the first of its kind to feature an aluminum body, an on/off switch, and the agitator brushroll—an innovation that used metal beater strips to vibrate pieces of dirt from carpets. The vacuum was one of the many supposedly labor saving devices marketed in the 1920s that promised to liberate middle-class women, now managing their houses without live-in maids, from the drudgery of housework. Accordingly advertisements for the Hoover 700 depicted a chic flapper of the late 1920s using the vacuum. Although the vacuum did clean more thoroughly than the broom and dustpan, the popularization of such appliances created more exacting standards of cleanliness thus making the hope of simplified housework largely illusory.

The history of the Refrigerator began in the 1920. In the 1920s and '30s, consumers were introduced to freezers when the first electric refrigerators with ice cube compartments came on the market. Basic fridges can now be purchased for about half their selling prices in the 1920s. Not many people back in the 1920's had refrigerator's due to the highly price for them. Before the invention of the refrigerator's people used Ice boxes.  They were less effective than modern refrigerators or refrigerators in the 1920's. The Ice boxes were replaced with ice everyday or so by an "ice man".

Earliest forms of tampons were originated in Egypt that contained papyrus plants.
Soon the ideas were spreaded to the Romans who used wool which also included paper, vegetable fibers, sponges, grass, and cotton.

Yet, it wasn’t until 1929 that a physician named Dr. Earle Haas patented and invented the modern day tampon (with an applicator.)

He discovered the idea while he was on a trip with a lady friend to California. Where she explained to him how she improvised to create a more comfortable and effective alternative to the commonly used external pads by simply inserting a sponge inside than the outside.

At this time period doctors were using plugs of cotton to staunch secretions and so he suspected a compressed form of cotton would absorb just as well.

He designed a feature of a tightly bound strip of absorbent cotton attached to a string to allow for easy removal. To keep the tampon clean, the cotton cane withan  applicator tube that extended to push the cotton into place without the user having to touch it.
