The 1920s was the age of the 'flapper'!. Young women shortened their skirts and cut their hair, took to drinking and smoking and wearing makeup, and indulging in 'heavy petting' and sometimes even full sexual intercourse, with young men!. dieting became an obsession, the figure that was admired was thin and flat-chested!.

Sunbathing became popular for the first time, having a tan was no longer regarded as lower-class, but as a sign that you had leisure to enjoy outdoor sporting activites like tennis, golf, and swimming!.

After women got the vote in 1920, there was a sharp decline in interest in politics and social reform among women!. There was also much less interest in education and careers!. The women of the pre-WW1 generation, who had grown up believing they had a duty to make the world better, were dismayed by the frivolity and shallowness of the younger generation!. Far fewer women were interested in pursuing careers, one woman doctor commented sadly that female doctors had become as fashionable as "a horse and buggy"!. There were fewer women in the workforce in 1930 than there had been in 1910

The view of the younger generation can I thnk be summed up very well by Zelda Fitzgerald, who said "I think a woman gets more happiness out of being gay, lighthearted, unconventional, mistress of her own fate, than out of a careeer that calls for hard work, intellectual pessimism and loneliness!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Flappers
In the 1920s women changed a lot!. They went to college more, promiscuity increased, and they had more freedoms!.
Women at those times rebelled by refusing traditional values, like getting married before having sex, they smoked in public-which was never seen before, they had drinks at speakeasies, they dressed in the latest fashions-had short hair, wore makeup!.
They broke down more the barriers between them and men!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yea that is a broad question!. Here are some ideas!. The flapper movement blended in with the rebellion of the prohabition movement!.
Women's involvment in the prohabiton, (different women from the flappers)!.
Women struggle and achving for voting in 1920s, the big unions to achive that goal and parades as well!.
Some women were in the work force!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
