ROARING TWENTIES: SECTION II
Devin Chabot, Libby McKown, and Megha Patel
MAIN THESIS
Because of World War I and the
subsequent changes in home life, the
youth of America, and especially the
women, changed inevitably with no
ideas of the past. They disregarded the
stuffy Victorian past through drinking
alcohol, sex, fashion, and impure
activities.
SUB THESIS
The wild youth culture during the
1920s was an inevitable revolution that
changed the roles of women because of
foreign and American influences on
alcohol, automobiles, sex, and the
media to the dismay of the older
generation.
