The Jazz Age or the Golden 20's

It's very interesting to see this huge change in the span of a few couple of decades in the history of US. From the harsh conditions during the period of war to the sort of short term dream of the Roaring 20's and its collapse in the 30's. Women had lead to big changes generally and in this situation isn't any different, there was a big change in women behavior, also known as the flapper period for them; they started to get involved in the working field, a sense of equality was gaining popularity and as a result women change dressing, started to use make up among other changes. At the same time with prosperity in the economy people in general wasn't worried about money, extravagant parties were likely to be attended by them and Jazz Music was the final ingredient in this cocktail. The result the Golden 20's a time were alcohol was ban to manufacture and sale but not to posses, a short term cocktail followed by the big depression.
