What were four key points of the changing role of women in the USA in the 1920's?

Women’s roles were changing in many ways in the 1920s. Women began to work outside of the home. Women, especially young women, wanted to have a career. Women no longer wanted to just get married and become a housewife. 


Women’s dress also changed. Young women were called flappers. These were young women who dressed stylishly. They cared about how they looked in public. Their dresses got shorter, and they cared about their hairstyles.


Women also began to challenge social customs. Instead of being reserved and invisible, women began to drink and smoke in public. They also were no longer hesitant to voice their opinions. Women wanted to go to college to further their education.


Women also began to exercise their political rights. In 1920, women got the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment. Women began to vote once they got the right to vote. Women’s roles began to change significantly in the 1920s.
