The beginnings of the “Sexual Revolution” preceded the 60’s.

Great Grandma was a "Flapper" way back in the roaring 20's?

My great GM was too busy moving out of Germany between WWI and WWII with my 12 yo mother in tow...

"With the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 that gave women the right to vote, American women finally attained the political equality that they had so long been fighting for. A generational gap began to form between the "new" women of the 1920s and the previous generation. Prior to the 19th Amendment, feminists commonly thought that women could not pursue both a career and a family successfully, believing that one would inherently inhibit the development of the other.

This mentality began to change in the 1920s as more women began to desire not only successful careers of their own but also families. The "new" woman was less invested in social service than the Progressive generations, and in tune with the capitalistic spirit of the era, she was eager to compete and to find personal fulfillment."
