The 1920s saw many social changes for women. Women gained the right to vote with the 19th Amendment in 1920, but still faced inequality. The flapper style emerged, with women wearing short dresses, cutting their hair, smoking cigarettes in long holders, and dancing provocatively. Flappers were seen as bold and rebellious. Despite these changes, women continued fighting for equal treatment in the workplace and politics. Prohibition in 1919 banned the sale and production of alcohol in the US, but this led to increased crime and bootlegging as gangs profited from supplying illegal alcohol.
