The 1920s were all about expressing yourself and not letting anyone tell you what to do, it was about being free. For most women this was a had to happen year. This is when all women started being what they wanted to be not what there husbands were expecting them to be they went to parties and left without any men telling them that they were pretty much there's and couldn't go.
In this year we also had the great depression but we also had some very important breakout inventions like the car by Henry Ford, radio by Ernst Alexanderson, TV by Ernst Alexanderson, and also movies were being introduced to keep people entertained and not worry about the economy to let them wander of into a world of imagination.
Women started dressing differently and was considered showing "to much skin" they made new bathing suits that were shorter and easier to swim with. Back then some mothers were outraged that there daughters would dress like this but times were changing and the world was becoming more and more advanced and without that time we wouldn't be like how we are today.
You need to relate all texts to Gatsby. You didn't even mention the novel here. 60/75
