About an hour later, the Americans replaced the…

In reality,most of the women who took jobs that had previously qualified as men’s work had already been working for years prior to the war. These jobs were “women’s work” such as typists or paid homemakers. Many of the Rosies, in fact, were not middle class or white. At this point, women were being hired…

the audience of the significance of the flapper girl of the 1920s through juxtaposition, diction, and tone. The author of the passage, Elizabeth Stevenson, uses juxtaposition to teach the audience about the importance of the flapper during that time. Stevenson contrasts many ideas throughout her writing to show the audience that the flapper girl was a big part of the 1920s. “In a Norman Rockwell painting for the issue of March 12, 1921, the girl is more kittenish than hoydenish; her hair her…
