In America shortly after the Great War, came Prohibition, a surging economy and dramatic strides in technology and transportation. Social mores were loosened and new opportunities opened for many women.
Riding the stock market boom in 1929, many felt like Ukulele Ike:
I’m singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin’
I’m happy again
Social mores were loosened during prohibition… interesting. Holly
