Big business and industry produced timesaving appliances that freed women from some household chores, and business growth also created jobs for millions of women, but most women were confined to tradition jobs. What changes affected families in the 1920s? The birthrate dropped; household labor was simplified by technology; children spent their days in school; adolescent rebelliousness increased.
