the roaring tWenties: a DecaDe in revieW

looking BackBy: Yasin Yaqubie

Tounderstandthe present, one mustfirst examine the past.The 1920s is often characterized as a period of American prosperity and optimism. It was the “Roaring Twenties,” the decade of bathtub gin, the Model T, the five-dollar work day, the first transatlantic flight, and the movie. It is often seen as a period of great advance as the nation became urban and commercial. Contrastingly, this decade is also seen as a period of rising

intolerance and isolation. Historians often point out that Americans retreated into a sort of dogmatism, evidenced by the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the anti-radical hysteria of the Palmer raids, restrictive immigration laws, and Prohibition. Overall, the decade is often viewed as a period of great contradiction: one of both rising optimism and prevalent cynicism, o f i n c rea s i ng and decreasing faith, of great hope and tremendousdespair. As women’s rights were expanded, so did the sense of racism and pessimism. Cultural norms were constantly changing as well. Extravangance grew out of material and financial indulgences. The women’s rights movement was on a roll, and the stock market crash of 1929 shattered any previous conceptions of a time of unrelenting wealth and luxury; having lasting impressions, the Crash, as with all that occurred in the Roar ing 20s revolutionized American society. In this special edition issue of All Wet,we'll review this Era of Play and the events which made it one of the most influential time periods in history.

Business After several years of saving for the war effort, a booming economy made the United States ready for the outpour of consumer goods and technology that shaped the 1920s. The United States emerged from World War I a dominant economic power, having credited many countries for wartime expenses. Business was booming. The idea of paying in installments may not have been new, but it became habit in the Jazz Age.

Aided by an advertising industry t h a t g r e w m o r e powerful with input from behaviorist John Watson, manufacturers supplied the people w i t h e v e r y t h i n g . Many analysts of this time period suggest

that enduring a war of shocking horrors led people to feel life was too short to hold back on anything. And with mass production techniques pioneered by Henry Ford being applied to factories in industries ranging from food canning to movie making, Americans could now afford and indulge in what was once scarce and exclusive.

H o u s e h o l d e lec t r i c app l iances composed one of the biggest new markets o f t h e c on sume r -d r i ven 1920s : the Electrolux introduced in 1921 replaced carpet beaters; in 1923, Schick marketed an electric shaver; the spin dryer was introduced shortly thereafter; and Frigidaire soon took the place of the outdated icebox.

Americans in the 1920s were the first to wear ready-made, sized clothing. They were the first to play electric phonographs, use electric vacuum c leaners , l i s ten to c o m m e r c i a l r a d i o broadcasts, and drink bottled fresh orange juice year round.

In countless ways, large and small, Amer i can l i f e was transformed during the 1920s, particularly in urban areas. Cigarettes, cosmetics, and synthetic fabrics such as rayon became essentials of American life. Newspaper g o s s i p c o l u m n s , illuminated billboards, and commercial airplane flights were all archetypal Jazz Age nove l t ies and forever changed the landscape of the American economy; and

Two automo-tive titans, Henry FordandAlfredSloan,sym-bolized the profoundchangesthattookplacein American indus-try during the 1920s.In 1913, fifty-year-old FordhadrevolutionizedAmerican manufactur-ing by introducing theautomated assemblyline.Byusingconveyorbelts to bring automo-bile parts to workers,hereducedtheassem-bly time for aFord carfrom twelve and a halfhours in 1912 to justone and a half hours

in1914.Decliningpro-duction costs allowedFord to cut prices sixtimes between 1921and 1925, reducing anew Ford Model T’scost to just$290.Forddemonstrated the logicof mass production:that expanded produc-tion allows manufac-turers to reduce costsand therefore increasethenumberofproductssold; and that higherwagesallowworkerstobuymoreproducts. Alfred Sloan,president of GeneralMotors, built his com-

pany into the world’slargest automakerby adopting new ap-proaches to advertis-ing and marketing. Headvertised his cars assymbols of wealth andstatus, and in 1927 heintroduced the yearlymodel change in ordertoconvincemotoriststotrade inoldmodels fornewer ones with flash-ierstyling.Tomakehiscars affordable, he setup the nation’s first na-tional consumer creditagencyin1919. Cars werethe symbol of the new

consumer society thatemerged in the 1920s.In 1919, there werejust6.7millioncarsonAmerican roads. By1929, thereweremorethan 27 million—acar for nearly everyhousehold in the Unit-ed States. In 1929, aquarterof allAmericanfamilies purchased acar. About 60 percentbought cars on credit,often paying interestrates of 30 percent ormore.

The automo-bile industry providedan enormous stimulusfor the national econ-omy. By 1929, the in-dustry produced 12.7percentofallmanufac-turing output, and em-ployed1outofevery12workers. Automobilesin turn stimulated thegrowth of steel, glass,and rubber industries,along with the gaso-linestationsandmotorlodges that dotted thenation’sroadways.

fashion

Onethingcandefinitely be said about women’s makeup ofthe 1920s: it was dra-matic. Roaring Twen-ties-style Face powderwas typically of lightshades with extremelydark hues everywhereelse. The eyes wereheavily lined in blackeyelinerandeyelasheswere thickly coated inmascara.And the lips,ofcourse,weredousedin lipstick of deep redshades. The begin-ningofthedecadewascertainly characterizedbytheworstof fashionoffenses,with theeye-

brows being outlinedinblackaswell.Asthedecade progressed,lighter shades werethankfully introducedforlipstick.The overwhelmingresult, in this writer’sopinion,isthatthelessdrastic makeup thatemerged in the follow-ing decade was muchmore elegant thanthe severe look of the1920s.Whilethetrendsof the 1920s did thusultimatelyfade,thedra-matic makeup will for-ever remain in historyand will perhaps influ-ence the coming gen-erationsofAmerica.

Worst deci-sion in fashion of the ‘20s: With thenew emergence of the“bob haircut,” clochehats became the newfad in fashion. Thesehats looked more likehelmets than anythingelse,but forsomerea-son America believedthat these were attrac-tive.Thankfully,clocheshaven’t become morethanjustaphaseintheever-changing Ameri-can fashion scene.Thesehatswereverylimited in their appealto women. Heavierwomen were forcedtoavoidthecrazedueto the fact that thesehats were only suitedfortheveryskinnyandvery pretty. Perhapsthe worst part aboutthehatsisthefactthatwomenwhoworethempulled them down tojust about their eyesandthushadtolifttheirheads and peer downtheir noses in order tosee properly.This lookonly evolved into thesnooty appearance sopopular during the EraofPlay.Thedisappear-ingbrimsofclochehatsallowed for women tobecome more mascu-line,whichwasthegen-eral goal of women’sdress, as they soughttoeliminatethegenderdistinctions which sodominatedandrestrict-ed their lives. Perhapsthe only benefit to this styleofhatwastheap-pearancethatthewear-erwas taller.This look

eventuallydisappearedfrom fashion for thegreater good ofAmeri-can society. This lookwastrulytheepitomeof“thebadandtheugly.”

Best decision in fash-ion of the ‘20s: De-spite the disastrousemergence of thecloche hats, the bestinnovationinfashionofthe1920swastheshort-ening of hem lines on

theclothingforwomen.The disappearing hemlines allowed womentoachievetheiridealofbecomingmoremascu-line while not resortingto the idea of wearingpants.The rising hem-linesofthe‘20sbroughtupontheappearanceofstockings, which laterbecame thenewcrazein accessories.

in the decade is alsoanexampleofthenewfreedom and feelingsof women of the ‘20s.However,withthecom-ingofthe‘30s,thefree-doms of women weredecreased and hem-lines returned alongwith longer hairstyles.Despite the return ofthe long hemlines, theshortened dresses re-

Known as “the Mon-key Trial,” Tennesseev. John Scopes wasthe intense legal face-off between two of thegreatest orators of ourtime, Clarence Darrowand William JenningsBryan. The year was1925, and the joint, acrowdedcourtroomun-dertheblazinghotTen-nessee sun, was thebattlefield on which re-ligious fundamentalismwas pitted against ra-tionalism and science,catching in the cross-fire of the controversy the young Mr. JohnScopes, a high schoolscience teacher who,at the behest of theAmericanCivilLibertiesUnion,dared todo theunthinkable: teach sci-ence. Teach evo-lution, to be precise.Thought tobeabunchof atheist baloney bythose of a more tra-ditional persuasion,Darwin’s theory ofevolution—that we,Man, indeed share acommon ancestor withtheapeandothersim-ian creatures—wasprohibited from beingtaught in schools, asit clearly contradictedtheconceptofcreation-ism. Thus, pursuantto Tennessee law, Mr.Scopes was pinchedand brought to trial.Coming to his defensewasoneofthegreatestdefenseattorneysofalltime,Mr.ClarenceDar-row. Representing the

Essen-tially, then, theScopestrialhadlittletodowithScopes himself, andeverything to do withthelessonhetaughthisstudents—and howready America wasto throw away itsprevious notions oftheoriginofman toacceptit. As the at-torneys made theirarguments inside,Ten-nessee citizens soldstuffed monkey dollsand other souvenirsoutside, transformingthe trial into an all-outcircus show for theentertainment of the

masses. The proceed-ings themselves werenotsodifferent:alleyesof the nation turned tothat little town in Ten-

The decadestartedoutwithabanglike no other—a con-stitutional amendment.And nothing has everrattledtheWhiteHousewalls and rocked theWashington worldquite like the suf-fragettes did inthe years prior tothe ratification of the amendment; abunch of politicallysavvy bearcats,these girls cam-paigned tirelesslyfor women’s suffrage,the“SilentSentinels”ofthe National Woman’sParty (NWP) picketingand protesting even inwartime in order to beheard.

form advocated previ-ously, is largely attrib-utable to the efforts oftheNWP; its founders,particularly Alice Pauland Lucy Burns; andthegreatsockdollagers

were arrested andconvicted, as they hadbeenpeacefullypicket-inginfrontoftheWhiteHousewhentheyweredragged off under thepolitical subterfugecharge of obstruct-ing traffic; it should be noted that these hun-ger strikes, resultingin brutal force-feeding,gained national atten-tion from the pressandputagreatdealofpressureontheWilsonadministration,perhapsprompting his supportofwomen’ssuffrage.
