In what ways did she continue earlier stereotypes? What can the iconic nature of the 1920s flapper tell us about American culture and women’s opportunities at the time? Was this a liberating change? In what ways was the Great Depression a “heavily gendered experience?” How did the New Deal reflect older ideals about women’s conventional roles? To what extent did World War II challenge gender stereotypes for women? To what extent did it reinforce them? In what ways did women take action during these years to shape their own lives or to impact the world around them? How were their opportunities or limitations shaped by the historical context?
