Question

How did women exercise their new freedoms and increased independence after world war 1?

Answer 1

They became Flappers, they kept up with their jobs, they were dressed in androgynous clothing, hair and makeup, went to parties un-chapperoned

This mostly applied to wealthy white women as it was expensive

Answer 2

When soldiers went away to war their jobs needed to be replaced to keep the economy stable, women were able to take this opportunity and work in factories for munitions and sewing and many other things, this was a big step in the right direction to gender equality, after WW1 people started to change their attitude and realised that women can work and can do just as good as men in some countries they were given the vote and more opportunities opened for women in different industries and they were able to make a living for themselves instead of being reliant on a husband to get money for their whole family
