The 1920s has often been seen as a time of significant social change in the U.S. Was this a time of social liberation for women too? Yes – according to Professor Sarah Churchwell. “Women in the 1920s had a very different experience to what their mothers had in the 19th century. It's not an exaggeration or a myth to say that their lives changed in this decade.”The decade began with a major moment of political emancipation as many women became eligible to vote. This was a massive step forward – although there were a few significant limits. “Although all women got the vote in theory, in practice white women were able to exercise this franchise much more extensively than black women– especially in the south of the country where their vote was often suppressed,” explains Churchwell. Equality was still far from being achieved. After World War One, there were major economic changes. Women could no longer necessarily rely on husbands to support the household economically. “Women suddenly had to be the wage earners,” explains Churchwell. “They picked up new skills, such as learning to write and drive. Much of this was driven by necessity, but women also began to make the most of this opportunity to earn autonomy.” While some women did return to the domestic sphere in the years following the war, Churchwell states that “an important proportion of them” refused to go back to full-time traditional roles. Those who chose to return to work at home also witnessed great change, with the emergence of new devices. However, such luxuries weren’t widely available because electricity was not yet accessible everywhere. In addition to practical advancements, the 1920s offered new ways for women to spend their free time. On the one hand, socialising in speakeasies became a new trend for many. Indeed, drinking at bars had been something previously limited to the upper class. But, on the other hand, some women strongly fought to abolish the liquor traffic during Prohibition. “It’s important to resist clichés about the 1920s, the decade was more complex than it seems” concluded Churchwell.
