5 oct. 1929 - Changes for Women- The Flapper Era(1929)

Description:

During the war and the shortage of employees, women were hired to take their place, and now that the men were back, they needed to become employed to provide for their families. Women were encouraged to leave their jobs to make room for more male workers unless unmarried. Women started to fight for their rights, including being able to vote. The suffrage movement started calling for better public health, stronger education for women, and overall equity. Prime Minister Mackenzie King also fought for women's rights. In October of 1929, women gained rights, including being able to become Senators. Women wanted to join in on the fun, and became an entertainment source as 'flapper girls'. Flapper girls smoked, drank, and danced in the public eye, which are all things that women of class didn't do. In the day, most of these women work as phone operators or clerks, although at night they go out and party to jazz music, and kiss men or endure in sexual activities.
