=__"THE BOB CUT".__ =  By: Faith Porzilli, Lauren Schmidt, AJ Appalucio, and Abby Haeuter __Woman and Society__

The society women lived in in the 1920s is much different than there rights today and ideas we have today. Women in the past were thought as a much lower level in society than today. This shows what the women from this time couldn't wear and also the fashion items that women and men wore and also who influenced fashion and women in the 1920's. Also, what rights these women had from this time. Lastly what they had the rights to wear, along with the rebellion in the way they dress and act. Women of this time showed a huge rebellion and a magnificent amount of effort put forward to finally be treated as equals to men in this times society.

Today in the world women have every right as and are equal(in the USA), but if you went back to the 1920s you would see when women began to change. In the 1920s women were out watching children and do daily chores andwere now beginning to take more part in society. The jobs and new opportunities more women out of the home and into of work and public life women of this time began to take new roles in ever greater numbers( [|Education Devolpment Center]1). Theyalso began to get an education in college after they got out of high-school. Women before had been controlled by there husbands and or fathers(edh 1). Before the 1920s men completely took control of there wives, children, and all the family had. Those things all changed when in 1920 the 19th amendment to the United States of America was made. Women had received the right to vote, this was the beginning of a long chain of achievements women would receive. media type="youtube" key="3svvCj4yhYc" height="344" width="425" The women of the 1920s are the same as soccer moms today because they always stayed home. If a woman had a job it would have a salary that was much less than any man and did not have many hours of work to do. Until the Womens Rights Movment these were all the costom but, after women got minimum wadge and a much larger amount of hours. In most cases, women were only educated until the ages of 9 to 12 years old. The only girls who were permitted to pursue a [|higher education], were those of families with money(edh 1). There were many firsts in the 1920s that impacted the view of women. Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly in an air plane (1921) which marked a change in time.

The 1920's were a giant [|stepping stone]for women. This right to own property, made women everywhere know that they were able to do things without a husband to depend on(edh 1). Women began wanting to have a vote in the senate but, congress denied this do to that women were not considered people in this time(edh 1). A groupof women called "The Valiant Five" which consisted of Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louis McKinney and Henrietta Edwars asked the Courtof Canada one question. "Are women persons?"(edh 1) It took a long time to discuss and when the came to a conclusion they relized that no, women were not consitered people. After that ruling there was serous discussion on if women were people they advanced to courts across the world, but finaly they decided that women should now be considered people. media type="youtube" key="1pwG-kRi0-Y" height="344" width="425" Young women of this time would rap there chests to look in the correct shape. "The slender flat-chested tanned body and face of a 15 year old became the desired silhouette of the bright young things of the 1920s"(Thomas 1). Youthful women began to dress in more of a mens style then dresses and skirts. "Female clothes became looser and more shapeless in fit"(Thomas 1). Since the best of dresses in the past were for more richer of women, when the flapper come it had an easier construction then long layerful gowns. This made it easy for home dress making and more apropriate for middle class and poor. media type="custom" key="3010410" width="172" height="103" Women weren't the only group of people that wanted a part in society. African Americans were no longer acting like slaves as they began to take a large part in the arts.Just in this century a man who would soon change the world and defeate segragation was born, that is Martin Luther King J..Bessie Colman (1893-1926) beat the odds. She became the first person to recieve an international piolts license as a graduate of the Federation Aeronautique International in France. She was also honored to be the first black woman pilot and stunt avatio, proving women were going to make a change. Music would influence jobs women would have and things the do. Women now were singing and dancing all the time in what would have thought to be incredibly provocative. They would wear short dresses, called flappers. In these gowns they would sing backup or dance in groups.

Fashions Dramatic Change. Fashion went trough a dramatic change during the 1920's. It evolved into the fashion dresses we use today. It used to be long dresses were the only thing showing were the hands neck and head. But in the 20's the big change happened. The change that is still in fashion today.

There were boycotts of the new so called "outrage in fashion". Older woman said there was to much skin showing. You said that today people would look at you funny. If they boycotted fashion today... get that tattoo off your arm BANG.Good thing it was back then when they boycotted fashion.I will show you the evolution of the old outfit to the flapper.

Dresses looked like this before flappers A long evening dress. The ankles weren't allowed to show. It was unladylike to show them. This is what was "in" before the 1920's big change."Not until 1920 was universal suffrage the right of every adult citizen in America to vote passed in both houses, becoming the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution" ([|Web currents]) That is when the change happened.

The bob-cut looked like this: many women got there hair boobed in the 1920's.
