Question 3 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

Which is the best example of how women went against social norms during the Roaring Twenties?

Answer
A
Women became flappers who danced the Charleston.
B
Women became businesspeople who bought cars.
C
Women became celebrities who starred in movies.
D
Women became landlords who bought property.

Explanation

During the Roaring Twenties, flappers challenged traditional expectations for women through their clothing, hairstyles, and more independent social behavior. Dancing the Charleston was a visible example of this changing lifestyle. Becoming a businessperson, movie star, or property owner could also be notable, but those choices do not as directly capture the era’s best-known challenge to social norms.
