Women in the twenties.... Retro Box

“Flappers”

At the end of the first World War the role of women as housewives changed dramatically.

They were forced to work and to earn their own money which was the first step towards their independence. Especially after the war women came to the conclusion that there had to be more in life than just looking after the children and the house.

By earning the right to vote in 1920 women made their biggest step in being accepted as equal members of society. This freedom changed women’s attitude totally.

They started drinking alcohol, smoking and dancing a new type of dance called “Swing”.

Presented Retro Box is made with the decoupage technique.
Soon I would like to present this technique. It is extremly popular at the moment and it's very easy.
