She danced the Charleston, with bared knees, bobbed hair--and without a corset! The New American Woman also danced--though to a more sedate tune. She represented Mrs. Consumer, more aware of her decision-making ability and her purchasing power than her mother had ever been. And she was, for the first time ever, a fully enfranchised citizen who cast her vote in the polling booth. The media of the times influenced women's paths: magazine advertisements showed them how to dress and how to look younger to please their husbands; books advised them on proper etiquette and how to be truly beautiful; and movies offered entree to exotic new worlds. Many, however, looked beyond the stereotypes, using their new-found power and abilities to fight for a variety of causes.--From publisher description. 505 0 $a Prologue: Armistice Day, November 11, 1918 -- Modern girls and the media -- Happy housewives and delicate women -- Morals and manners -- Beauty in the eye of the beholder -- The backlash against modern times -- Epilogue: Change and continuity and what comes next. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Nineteen twenties $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Women $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Women $z United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Women $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Nineteen twenties. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0620/2006028983.html 941 $a 8 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714021406.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814024127.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116012219.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202042357.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20150227024705.0 952 $l JLPF081 $d 20150213092427.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=989C9D082B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
