The Roaring Twenties: Discover the Era of Prohibition, Flappers, and Jazz

The 1920s is one of the most fascinating decades in American history, when the seeds of modern America were sown. It was the era of flappers, jazz, and the Charleston, of rolled stockings, strings of pearls, Prohibition, and speakeasies. It was a time of prosperity and recovery from war, when women’s roles began to change and advertising and credit made it easy to acquire a vast array of new products. But there was more to the 1920s than The Great Gatsby and roadsters. There was the dark side of crime and corruption, racial intolerance, hard times for immigrants and farmers, and an impending financial collapse. The Roaring Twenties: Discover the Era of Prohibition, Flappers, and Jazz immerses young people in the different aspects of the time, from literature and music to politics, fashion, economics, and invention.
