Women working outside the home during the roaring 1920s could expect to make less money than their male counterparts and to be forced to stay at home if they became pregnant.

The roaring 1920s were a time of changes and prosperity for American citizens. In the particular case of women, there were many changes for them in this decade that included working habits, cultural changes, and more independence in some aspects.

Many women had to get a job outside the home to help the family. Unfortunately for them, women made less money than their male counterparts.
