Essential Questions:
How does the Flapper represent the "new woman"?
The flapper represents the new woman because they became the modern woman who was bold and frankly did not care what people thought. Before the 1920s, women were supposed to be quiet and stay out of the way, but the flapper brought women that could speak their minds and do what they wanted to do.
Were the 1920's successful for the women's movement?
Overall, the 1920s was a successful time for the women's movement. Activists made quite a few gains with the right to vote, jobs, education, and more. Although some of the interest in the women's movement decreased, the time was still very successful.

Content: Other gains of this period for women included the creation of the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor. This fought for women if they worked in unsafe
conditions or if something was not right for women at
work. Women for the first time were also allowed to be in the Olympics in 1928. Some were angered by this and said it was not right, but women were getting closer to being equal to men. One final way the Women's Movement was successful in the 1920s is that more women were being educated. All girl colleges were established and the percent of women with college
degrees increased being 39%. Life became different for many women in the 1920's. Because of the higher education women received, they were able to get jobs as secretaries, teachers, nurses, and more. Now, women were earning their own money, but many stopped working once they got
married. Key Points
