Women's+History+(Julianna)

===**"The Roaring Twenties" was a time when women gained rights and their freedom. In 1920, the nineteenth amendment was passed which allowed voting rights for women. Women who wanted to rebel were labeled as "flappers." Flappers were young ladies, dressing in the styles that consisted of short hair cuts and dresses or shorts becoming short and less covering. Some were also known to be cigarette-smokers and cosmetics-wearers. Many women were gaining independence, such as Emilia Earheart takes her first lesson in 1923 and women competing for the first time in the olympic field events in 1928. This was a time where there were many educationally opportunities for women. In 1928, women earned 39 percent of the college degrees given in the united states, up from the 19 percent in 1900. **===
