Content: The United States went from a young industrial state that was accumulating the capital to build factories and railroads to a world power with a consumer economy that relied on its citizens to keep the boom going by borrowing money and buying homes and cars. Meanwhile, the celibate settlement house worker was replaced as a female prototype by the jazz-crazed flapper dancing the Charleston in a speakeasy.

That included drinking, smoking, and sex - for women as well as men.” -- Americas Women, 400 years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates and Heroines by Gail Collins (Role Of Women In The 1920s – source 5) (Americas Women, Collins – source 1) KS
