The name expanded and became a postmark label for black women that took care of everyone. Some have argued and said that it is almost impossible to create any type advertisement in the country without someone taking it into offence. One would think that considering the fact that those incidents
In the 1920s, it was forbidden for a woman to do things her race was not allowed to do. Hope Chamberlain, who was an advocate for the reformatory, manifested herself into the world by advocating to society that race was a huge part in the role people had during this era. Zipf explains that society had the idea that white women were pure, but colored women were simply atrocious and could not be “lady-like.” The idea circulated the area for a while until Katie Burr Johnson came about. Johnson was an advocate for the reformatory as well.
The most crucial change that occurred in the 1920s was the passing of the 19th Amendment. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. Continuing the chain reaction, women found more opportunities for employment. For example, advertisers exploited sexual allure to sell everything, which many “old-timers” regarded as a veritable errotic eruption. Although a women’s lifestyle took a giant leap forward, African Americans were still in the same spot.
The 1920's was a period of prosperity and confidence for many Americans. Women who were largely restricted to certain jobs were now granted more opportunities. They besieged the offices of publishers and advertisers; they sold antiques, sold real estate, opened smart little shops, and finally invaded the department store (Document 2). These new job opportunities caused the inequality between women and men to be looked over during this time. African Americans also felt a spirit of optimism and positivity.
Grace Desrosiers Rutledge US History (H) 4/15/24 Following the tragedies and victories of World War I, America underwent extreme changes. The biggest cause of these changes was the growth and use of promoting products, services, and ideas. The advertising of the “Roaring 20s” caused great cultural, political, and economic change through advertisers changing the way people viewed their lives, new ideas being promoted throughout the country, and increasing consumer culture, thus fundamentally shifting the base of American society during this era of extreme change and innovation. One of the ways advertising changed American society was through advertisers changing and challenging society's views, norms, and behaviors.
One big impact that happened in the 1920s was the economy, specifically advertising. Some advertising included radio stations such as KDKA which sold air time to companies to advertise services or products to consumers listening, the Gossip Column created by Walter Winchell which used political connection and rumors to draw attention and interest, or tabloids which appealed to people with celebrity stories or crimes. In addition to advertising, people started to use installment buying, which is when someone buys a product and pays it off over time.

Maybe people care a lot about what other people think; or, maybe they just do not care at all. Some people live by what other people want or think is “normal.” Other people live the way they want to live and do not care about the things other people want them to be. Women tend to struggle with this alot. Stereotypes, inequalities, and politics were not things women in the 1930s wanted to live by; although, they managed to make it better for themselves through political action over time.
Identification and Targeting of Consumer Groups in Advertising Strategies of the 1920s Advertising is critical to building business in a capitalist society like the United States.

The early 1900s was a very hard time to be a black female as both minorities and females were “lesser” in society. In this case, it took 100´s of years to get rid of racism and still it hasn't fully been eradicated. Some events that slowed this process down a lot were the Jim Crow Laws. These laws separated African Americans. “These laws pretty much oppressed minorities and were enforced by the people and officers, for example, “It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other in any game of cards or dice, dominoes or checkers.
Every single day, a silent horror kills more Americans than those that were killed on 9/11.This year alone over 34,060,630 babies have been killed due to abortion(“Abortions Worldwide This Year”).

This advertisement includes four men and one woman who are all wearing Dolce and Gabbana clothes. Two of the men are shirtless with oiled bodies, showing off their muscular body type, which is considered to be the ideal male body type. This causes the men viewing the advertisement wanting to be like them.
