Many of the ideas and things we enjoy today was the talk of the town during the 1920s. The flapper – a woman who sported short hair and short skirts – for instance, was not so common back then as one may think. However, it became the symbol for women empowerment and independence.
A lot of inventions were also introduced during this time. Popular items on shopping lists included ready-to-wear clothes, radios, and home appliances. Movies were also the rage. Historians say that Americans then would visit the theater at least once a week.
