The first thing that comes to mind when I hear of the 1920s are flappers. I picture the women with bobbed hair, shorter flowy dresses exposing skin, galoshes, and cigarettes. Not only did women begin to dress and look a certain way, they began to behave differently as well. Throughout history, women were deemed to be inferior to men, and were treated as such. Society expected women to take on the role of a homemaker. Flappers symbolized the “new woman” and began to redefine the role of women in society as well as the home. A huge turning point for women’s suffrage occurred during the 1920’s and “nothing symbolized it more than the Nineteenth Amendment – woman won the right to vote” This push for equality helped pave the way for future equality
