1. Note two ways women's fashions changed.

Women liked to ware more revealing clothes during this time than had been generally accepted up to that point. They also went for more boyish looking hair styles.

2. Note two ways women's social behavior changed.

Women began to act in ways that had only been accepted for men to act like up untill that point. Two examples of pratcices that were pratciced by women with these new values were smokeing/drinking and casual dateing.

3. Note two words that describe the attitude reflected by these changes.

Flapper; Double Standard

4. Note one way women's work opportunities improved.

The booming industrial economy opened up new jobs that woman could preform.

5. Note two ways women's home and family life improved.

Marriges were now considered equal partnerships and were based on love.

6. Note three negative effects that accompanied women's changing roles in the 1920s.
1)Women struggled to balence their family and work lives.
2)Women were never payed as much as men and were not given equal opprunity to rise in status in their jobs.
3) Women were held to a social double-standard under which they were not expected to express themselfs as much as men could.
