The Twenties Woman

1. Note two ways women's fashions changed.
Women became known as flapper by embracing new fashions. One way women's fashions changed is cutting their hair into bobs and dying it black. Another example is close fitting hats.

2. Note two ways women's social behavior changed.
Fighting for the same rights as men is one way how women's social behavior changed. Also, refjecting values of the 19th century is another example.

3. Note two words that describe the attitude reflected by these changes.
Women started to become assertive about their rights and soon started doing things like smoking and drinking publically that would have once ruined their reputation.

4. Note one way women's work opportunities improved.
Job opportunities that opened up for women were teachers, nurses, and librarians.

5. Note two ways women's home and family life improved.
Women and men started to view marriage at home to be more of an equal partnership. Another way home and family life improved for women was the children spent less times in factories and more time in school were they were educated and well taken care of.

6. Note three negative effects that accompanied women's changing roles in the 1920s.
Teenagers started to put on an unusual attitude of a rebellious stage. Things like peer pressure started to rise and cause problems as well. The last thing that was a negative effect is was that all of this started to change the modern way of thinking and breaking old traditions
