ROARING TWENTIES: SECTION II

Devin Chabot, Libby McKown, and Megha Patel

MAIN THESIS

Because of World War I and the

subsequent changes in home life, the

youth of America, and especially the

women, changed inevitably with no

ideas of the past. They disregarded the

stuffy Victorian past through drinking

alcohol, sex, fashion, and impure

activities.

SUB THESIS

The wild youth culture during the

1920s was an inevitable revolution that

changed the roles of women because of

foreign and American influences on

alcohol, automobiles, sex, and the

media to the dismay of the older

generation.
