Big changes for women
Women had a newly found freedom of expression in the 1920s
They bobbed their hair
They wore clothing that exposed their legs and arms, they began to use makeup, they began to drink and smoke
Their behavior caused them to be called flappers, a term that was used to describe a somewhat foolish girl who was inclined to revolt against the norms of society
Women were given the right to vote in 1920 and they began to enter politics
Seven women served in WV house of delegates in 1920- they included
Anna Johnson Gates(Kanawha)
Minnie Buckingham Harper(McDowell)
There was renewed discrimination against immigration after World War I
