Presentation transcript:

Comparison between 1920s and 1950s Post WWI America was prosperous. The 20s offered plentiful jobs & soaring incomes. Post WWII America was prosperous as well. Because of rationing during the war, workers saved their money rather than spend it.

Roles of Women 1920s Advances for women Right to vote More opportunity for work “New Woman” (Flappers) Short dresses, smoked in public, dances, a lot of makeup More independent Divorce rate rose 1950s Conformity toward more traditional gender roles More child centered with the baby boom Women left the work force for returning veterans Workplace inequalities Divorce rate drops

Religion 1920s Fundamentalist believed in the literal truth of the Bible Clashes between fundamentalists and modernists Scopes Trial 1950s Push to increase religion in society (due to fear of communism) Government promoted religion (a belief in God made Americans different from Soviets) “Under God” added to Pledge of Allegiance “In God We Trust’ added to money
