It could’ve been the twenties. Girls stopped wearing corsets, bobbed their hair, were seen to be smoking cigarettes, had skirts up to their knees, and were taking rides with boys unchaperoned in those mobile bedrooms, the automobile. It was even rumored they were drinking alcohol.

Meanwhile, religion was under attack at the Scopes trial, women were filmed kissing on the movie screen, the body-to-body tango was being danced, and negro music was seducing young people into debauchery. Thank god for prohibition or men would still be abandoning their families and hanging out at saloons.
