Today we worked on our assigned blogs.
My assigned blog is on the women's in the 20s.
What did women gain?
The women in the 1920s gained voting, educations, and new jobs. Also some women became Flapper girls.
Voting.
In 1920, the nineteenth amendment was passed. the nineteenth amendment was the right for women to vote. Many women were in to politics and liked having a say in who the president and or whatever they were voting for. But some women did not.
Education.
One of the first women colleges was college of Greensboro. In this college ONLY women were allowed!! no men at all! After college most women became teachers or nurses because those were more of the suitable jobs for them. The University of North Carolina was one of the first university to open enroll women. They enrolled their first woman in 1921.But just because they were allowed to go to school there, doesn't mean they were allows welcomed. The women lived very low there. they would live in rural areas with out electricity. imagine how hard it would be to live without a fridge to keep all your food cold? or no place to wash and dry your clothes. if the women wanted to go to the bathroom they weren't just provided with one in side there house, they had to walk outside and visit the out house.
Jobs.
Flapper Girls.
