Decade - 1920s

The Weimar Republic was blamed for both the economic crisis in Germany, as well as the humiliation of the Versailles Treaty after World War One. Many people felt that they didn't do enough to protect the honor of Germany.

Isolationism.

It depended on the occupation. (It also depended on her race; America was still segregated, and while there were many new opportunities for black women up north, there was still racism in hiring.) Some traditional fields like teaching, nursing, and secretarial work welcomed female employees of any color. But even in the midst of so many changes in society (in music, in technology, in fads and customs, etc), gender roles remained very rigid, with men generally as the boss and women generally as the subordinate. Another thing that did not change was the belief that a married woman should quit her job. The culture back then believed the man should be the head of the house and his wife should focus on raising kids. Very few married women worked-- those who did were in non-traditional occupations like law, or they worked in Hollywood where they could use a pseudonym and nobody knew they were married. But for the most part, a female employee who got married was expected to resign. Many women in teaching or business remained single and did not have to give up their jobs as a result.

In the 1920s, many things were changing for women. The arrival of radio meant more women entertainers could reach a wider audience; and some radio stations even had women in management positions. More women were graduating from college, including more black women, and some of these graduates were seeking opportunities in law, medicine, social sciences, and the arts. Women were still paid less than men were, and certain occupations remained closed or resistant to hiring a woman (young ladies were not expected to become athletes, although a few did, mainly in golf or tennis; nor were they expected to be doctors-- although a few women did enter this profession too; women lawyers often found that only male family members, such as a brother or a husband, were willing to hire them). There were also a small but growing number of women who wanted to fly airplanes, and a number of best-selling books were written by female authors. But to sum up, while things were better in some ways, women still encountered many cultural biases. They could now have shorter hair and wear casual clothes; they could be on the radio, or study at a university. But the belief that women were just working until they found a husband persisted.

It was cheaper than gold and silver because those things were expensive and rare in that time. Our founding father opposed this act.

"Flapper" was the mocking name that some social critics had for certain middle and upper class young women of the 1920s who seemed to just want to have fun-- they rejected the norms of "proper" feminine behavior, were non-conformists, had short hair (in a culture where previously women had long hair), enjoyed dancing and going to parties, and were a good example of the changing status of women in 1920s society. What was important about them was that they existed-- previously, expectations about how women should behave were very rigid and formal, but flappers did things their own way, and probably encouraged other young women to try something new.

Broadway tickets were quite cheap in the 1920s. I assume that they have had a cost of around 1$ during this time which might seem incredibly cheap, but during these times 1$ was quite a lot of money compared to the times we have now.

During World War I, Utah experienced significant social and economic changes, including an increase in military enlistment and the establishment of training camps, such as Camp Kearns. The state also saw a rise in industrial production to support the war effort, leading to job creation and an influx of workers. Additionally, community organizations mobilized to support soldiers and their families, fostering a spirit of patriotism and unity among residents. The war also accelerated demographic changes as many people moved to Utah for employment opportunities.

The answer is Shanghai. I just googled "Paris of the Orient" and a factual article came up about Shanghai. Hope this helps!

They say Beijing [Images] is all about power while Shanghai is all about money. Two factors combined to make Shanghai that way. First, the city was 'internationalised' by marauding European traders in the 19th century. Second, the Shanghainese are the banias of China, money-savvy masters of business. The Shanghainese language, Shanghainese cuisine, Shanghainese self confidence, Shanghainese view of life -- everything about the Shanghainese make them different from other Chinese. Today Shanghai is recognised as China's smartest city as well as its financial capital, its industrial heartland, its fashion centre, the 'Paris of the Orient'.

Most concert tickets in the 1920's were only about a buck each. However, they didn't have conventional rock concerts back then. Many people went to jazz shows instead.

There were four Presidents during the 1920's. Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, finished the last of his term in 1921. The next three were Warren Harding (R), Calvin Coolidge (R) and Herbert Hoover (R).
