Gilded Age is a period in American history at the end of the nineteenth century, more precisely from the 1860's-70's until about 1896-1900. The period was characterized by a glitter on the surface, while below was corruption. Changes that took place in this period had the most significant impact on women's lives and city growth. With the growth of cities and urbanization, modernism is emerging, which is manifested in everyday life, especially in the middle and upper classes. Women besides the role of housewife are increasingly appearing in the public and taking part in social activities, as a sign of improving the status of women, but also as a symbol of personal status of class and modernism. At the same time, it leads to increased attention, which is directed at the behavior of women in the public, from how they were dressed, to the degree of freedom of behavior, and there was the possibility of being characterized as inadequate behavior. Nevertheless, women's rights, in addition to "superficial" changes, also included an increasing presence in education and public life, whether it was campaigning for social change or for the right to vote, as well as issues of reproductive rights. A class of working women appeared, so in addition to symbolic changes, there is also an influential corpus when it comes to deciding and contributing to changes.

Ok, there is a lot for McCarthy. Since he was a Senator, form the late 1940's to the mid 1950's he went on a hunt for communists in the gov and in public life. He mostly did this because he wanted to ensure his political success. So during this time was the "Red Scare" aka when Americans were afraid of communism, so when he claimed he had a list of 205 communists the public went crazy and supported his crusade.
