(1)The 1920's saw widespread emancipation of women in America as well as changes in the way women presented themselves. Flappers are women who pushed independence and were considered "immoral or downright dangerous" according to History.com. (1)

(2)Before the 1920's, Women were "viewed as people that should only concern themselves with keeping a successful household" (2). (1)They defied these standards for women by wearing leg revealing skirts, getting shorter haircuts such as the bob, and applying makeup. They also broke moral standards for women by  drinking, smoking, and going to Jazz clubs. (1)

(1)Because of their expectation defying habits, Flappers caused a moral panic in the 20's because many believed they were defying nature and morality. Many states and local governments tried to restrain the sexual and physical freedoms that flappers embraced, such as limiting the length of a skirt or the tightness of a dress a women could wear.(1)

(1)Flappers eventually became somewhat of an extinct species when the Great Depression hit because they could no longer afford such a luxurious lifestyle (1). However, flappers helped women gain sexual, social, and economic independence.]]> 2020-10-08 14:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/814022067 Resulting gender expectations of the 1920’s 23isabelstarker1 https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/814024282 The roles of Women have changed through out the years because of the 1920's.

She now:
*has more freedom in things like pursuing public roles
*is less restrained by Victorian norms
*can flaunt her "sex appeal" *challenges the conventional gender roles
*meets with hostility from men and women who objected to women's public presence and would suppose decline in morality
*favors new, modern choices *expresses autonomy and individuality.

Women's rights started changing in the 1920's as a result of the work women did during the war. The number of working women went up by 25% and on August 18th, 1920, all women were given the right to vote.

Some new changes are:
*'Flappers' now smoke in public, are sexually liberated, and dance new dances.
*Women stop wearing long skirts and corsets and start wearing more convenient clothing.
*Divorce is made easier and the number of divorces double (however, most women stay housewives and are still not as free as their men)

Such as caring for the family, their husband, and children. They focused on religion, the household, and moral behavior (Wikipedia). 

The expectations men had for women in the Victorian Era caused women to be prepared for marriage, and to measure up to be an ideal Victorian Woman. Women's futures were basically planned out for them by their husbands, so it gave them very limited freedom (Appell).

Although Victorian Women were majorly in charge of keeping a successful household, some men could not make enough money to provide for the entire household, so women were forced to help out. However, they were not welcome in work places. They were commonly harassed and viewed negatively by society. The views society had on women prevented majority for labor at all (Barrett).]]> 2020-10-08 14:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/814026402 Victorian Era Expectations of Women & Men - Emma 23emmasnyder1 https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/816839216 In the Victorian Era, women were mostly viewed as caretakers and housewives who were supposed to be content with raising the children and doing housework. Women who were forced to work were looked down on by everybody else - they were not welcome in the workplace, even though they were just trying to help keep their families alive.

Men were expected to be the heads of the family. They could go wherever they please and could own land, and handled the money. They were supposed to be emotionless, hardworking, valiant, and resourceful. They would protect the house and the family while the women were supposed to care for the children and maintain the house. They were expected to be innocent, pure, and very caring.

It would be left to later generations of women to fully benefit from the social changes the decade set in motion.

Flappers were young, fast-moving, fast-talking, reckless and unfazed by previous social conventions or taboos. They smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, rode in and drove cars and kissed and “petted” with different men.

For the first time in the nation more people were living in the cities instead of the rural country areas (51%).

only about 10 percent of women in the 1920s kept their jobs after marriage, most of them working-class women whose family needed their paycheck.

different bodies and skills and were suited to different types of work.
They assumed men were stronger and more intelligent than women, and men were better suited to
certain types of jobs For example, coal mining required great physical labor, so it was assumed to
be a job for men. Many believed men were also better at professional jobs that needed a hefty
educational background. It was thought that men would be better doctors, for example.
Victorian society saw women as less intelligent and weaker than men. However, they also believed
women were better at emotional things, such as showing sympathy and kindness.

This meant that women were mostly given "simpler" jobs. For example, they might work as an
assistant to a man or become a nurse, which required caring. Women were also expected to do a
lot of work around the house, but they didn't get any money for this.

The man of the house was supposed to take responsibility for the income in the household. Not only this, but they were needed to lead their family (Mergel). 

Overall, a mans masculinity was one of the most important to posses. Masculinity came mostly from their job. In the Victorian Era, some of the most praised occupations were engineering, careers in medicine, and careers in law (Mergel).]]> 2020-10-12 14:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/821740779 23carterburg1 https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/821755068 2020-10-12 14:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/821755068 23isabelstarker1 https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/821757247 2020-10-12 14:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/821757247 The New Woman of the 1920s 23emmasnyder1 https://padlet.com/23isabelstarker1/3h5tj0ajfppy5tzb/wish/821762345 Prior to the 1920s, the ideal woman was soft-spoken, obedient, caring, and dedicated to her family. She put her husband and children's needs before her own and always listened to the man of the house. She didn't have a job; instead, she maintained the home and cared for the children, relying on the man to bring in the money. Any woman who was not like this was frowned upon by society.

However, in the 1920s, there was a new icon for women - one that was much more similar to the ideal concept of a man. This new woman ignored the standards of "desexualized modesty and self-restraint" and instead chose to spend money on herself and enjoy her life instead of sacrificing her happiness for her husband and children. This new woman was "out to see the world and, incidentally, be seen of it" (Hall).

This new woman was only fit for young, white, middle to upper-class single women. They began to take over jobs previously dominated by men, like clerks. Still, business jobs and jobs of that status were still mostly made of men. Clerks simply became known as "women's work" and were not seen as an advancement for women.
