For women in the 20's it was all about fashion and women's rights. The woman's suffrage movement that started in 1840 and in 1920 the senate finally passed the 19th amendment. It was also the age of a flapper, which was a young woman that wore makeup, short skirts, and smoked cigarettes. The 19th amendment allowed women to vote, saying "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." Flappers or Gibson Girls had their hair cut into a bob and styled it into a "shingle" style. They participated in every rebellious act at the time.
