The roles of American Women in the 1920s  varied considerably between the 'New Woman', the Traditionalists and the older generation. The 'New Woman', including the young Flappers, embraced new fashions, personal freedom and new ideas that challenged the traditional role of women. The Traditionalists feared that the ' New Morality' of the era was threatening family values and the conventional role of women in the home. The lives of Black American Women in the 1920s were also subject to change due to the influence of the Harlem Renaissance and the change from rural to urban life in the cities.]]> 2018-04-18 14:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mhathaway4683/3k54v7sxk9js/wish/253030022 mhathaway4683 https://padlet.com/mhathaway4683/3k54v7sxk9js/wish/253422200 1920's Fashion for women characterized the free spirited,  modernist era of the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age as women gained their freedom and independence.

In breaking away from conservative Victorian values, flappers created what many considered the "new" or "modern" woman.
