This world was full of people making something of themselves through fashion and dancing. From “parking your girdle” so that you have the ability to do the Charleston dance, to short skirts and even shorter haircuts, and men playing jazz music in the Cotton Club every night, the 1920’s was a time of youthful celebration and exotically inspired dress. What the individuals that lived in the 1920’s didn’t realize was that they would have a major influence in our world today. If there was no dancing, no mini skirts, and no jazz music, our world would be tasteless and lacking culture. The Roaring 20’s was a time of the first “Youth Rebellion”, sheiks, shebas, flappers, jazz music, and “Oxford Bags”. Sheiks were young men with sex appeal, as well as shebas were young women with sex appeal (Britten 28 & 32). Flappers were young women who wore short skirts, cut their hair short, and danced the nights away with the sheiks and shebas. During the 1920’s, young ladies were expected to dress modestly, in long skirts with blouses and corsets. Those expectations were soon cast adrift when the night clubs and jazz music came along. Girls began “parking their girdles” and dancing. A large portion of the<a data-href=/writing/document/62A9D4C1AF4C8943 class="document__middle white-space--normal source-serif text-l" rel="nofollow" style="cursor:pointer;white-space: normal;"> <i>…show more content…</i> </a></p></span><span class="document__preview text-l source-serif "><p class='text-ellipsis-after'>All of the clubs played jazz and swing music, making the Roaring 20’s a magnificent time to be a dancer. Every night, people from all backgrounds and professions were lined up outside the doors to get into the night clubs (Ward 131). In the early 1920’s, not very many people cared about the particular bands that played, but later in the decade individuals became particular about which band was playing the music they danced to each night. It was typical to see African Americans playing swing and jazz in white clubs for money. In fact, it was a common understanding that African Americans were better at composing this genre of</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/62A9D4C1AF4C8943">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Social-And-Cultural-Changes-In-The-1920s-PCYJ9KAYUR" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Social And Cultural Changes In The 1920's</h2></a><ul><li>885 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Social-And-Cultural-Changes-In-The-1920s-PCYJ9KAYUR" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Social And Cultural Changes In The 1920's</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The 1920’s was a great and important decade for the United States.

New advances in technology and industry improved American life in more ways than just one. Americans had better wages during this time, more leisure time, and overall, had a better life than ever before. In addition, the 1920’s advocated social and cultural change as well.

Along with the dress, she would wear a “step-in, a single piece of lingerie that took the place of the stiff-boned corset” (Gourley 62). Because of this, the flappers could maneuver more freely.

You pass a crowded club, where you hear the upbeat and speedy rhythms of music pouring out. The sound consumes you, fills you with joy, and persuades you to dance. You walk into the club to find numerous people swinging and tossing themselves around each other, enjoying the fast-paced and boisterous music. This is the appearance of jazz music, and in the early 20th century, jazz music swept the nation.

Though the majority of adults disagreed with the fashion revolution, young women continually hiked up their skirts, stayed out late, and kept up with fashion trends.

As seen in the photographs in Document 3, women started to drink and smoking in public, as well as dressing differently and cutting their hair short. Before this time period smoking and drinking in public would have ruined a woman's reputation. Women took part in attending illegal bars, “speakeasies” along with men, when before it had not been socially acceptable to go to bars. In addition, women started wearing shorter skirts, pumps, and transparents silk hose which was seen as a more daring and fashionable way of dressing.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1174 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/1920s-Dbq-47026A5F89E14732">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay8"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/The-Progression-of-Women-through-the-20th-FKDTYKCVC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Progression Of Women Through The 20th Century Essay</h2></a><ul><li>1164 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/The-Progression-of-Women-through-the-20th-FKDTYKCVC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Progression Of Women Through The 20th Century Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Another area in which women made changes was with their appearance. Women used their attire and style to show an independence, a certain freedom in which they alone had control. Starting with the “Gibson Girl”, women dressed in long, slim dresses, freeing themselves of the poufy petticoats of yore. Women started wearing shorter dresses and shorter hairstyles, leading to “Flapper Jane”. “Women started wearing “less” clothing, shorter dresses, cutting off their hair, and just being more “sensual” than normal”, (Bliven, 1925).</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1164 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/The-Progression-of-Women-through-the-20th-FKDTYKCVC">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/African-American-Influence-In-The-Great-Gatsby-C6DECCC130397354" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">African American Influence In The Great Gatsby</h2></a><ul><li>527 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/African-American-Influence-In-The-Great-Gatsby-C6DECCC130397354" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">African American Influence In The Great Gatsby</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">A little party never hurt anybody.~ ( Luhrmann,2013).

Perhaps the most defining social change is the emergence of young women from the confining ideals of a Victorian Age society (“Sophisticated Ladies,” n.p.). Women had entered the work force in the early 1900’s as men were deported overseas to serve in World War I. For the first time, women were able to work in hospitals, offices, and factories instead of being confined to ‘lady-like’ occupations such as teaching and working in shops.

Historians refer to this time period as “The Jazz Age”. When jazz music was introduced to the public at clubs and dance halls it took off! People were either captivated by it, or appalled by it. Jazz was all about movement; it was driven by syncopation and improvisation, and for some it was considered “the devil’s music.” The novel Jazz by Toni Morrison allows you to wonder down the seductive streets of Harlem where it all began.
