"modern" decade of the twentieth century. The corseted woman of the previous decade,

with her hobble skirts and huge hats, looked as if she came from another world when

1920's female body evolved from the elaborately trimmed dress with its high waist

position and ankle length skirt at the beginning, to the simple, hardly decorated, shapeless

decade. The initiation of the new fashion boom all began with their change in social

men. This is where it all began. At one point in the 1920's, women were regarded as

needed to restore the home." (Zinn, p47)
