The 1920's were years of change. The urban population grew at a rapid rate, while the rural population declined. Prohibition was in full swing; therefore illegal alcohol was rampant and organized crime was a common issue. Science and religion were at odds. Women began to change. No longer were they behind the scenes, with moral obligations and limited political freedom. Now they were in the picture, molding history with their own feminine touch.

"The time after WWI when Americans started a party so wild that it lasted
for a decade."

"You did all this, you know. You wanted independence, you wanted
rights. Now you've got 'em, and you can't complain if women don't choose to use
them as you thought they would."
