In this generation women had to follow what men said and didn't have a voice of their own. Due to this women did not feel the need to stand out. ]]> 2017-11-02 14:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gracie_climbs/Womenin1920/wish/202921834 Women began to change. gracie_climbs https://padlet.com/gracie_climbs/Womenin1920/wish/203117378 The women now realize they can so much more without men controlling their every move,  so they became themselves. They cut their hair shorter, wore shorter dresses, and wore makeup. They even smoked and drank as they pleased and didn't let anyone tell them they were wrong for our choices. 

    we picked this image to represent the change the women went through to show everyone how they can and will change.

And I feel that till it does I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high and my eyes wide--not necessarily any silly smiling. Oh, I've been through hell without a whine quite often--and the female hell is deadlier than the male.”

― F. Scott Fitzgerald

I don't know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn to them. I shared their restlessness, understood their determination to free themselves of the Victorian shackles of the pre-World War I era and find out for themselves what life was all about.”

Women now had more time to do fun things, such as hang out with friends and family at parties or just at home. Often parties were a favorite among them due to the fun time and seeing everyone they’re close with! 
We chose this to show how women enjoyed themselves when they aren’t working and how the new jobs created more opportunities for women to have fun.
